She tells her mother that he calls her “Miss Spiritual Tramp of 1948,” which her mother thinks is offensive. The next question Muriel’s mother asks is about the nicknames that Seymour has been giving Muriel. This indicates that Seymour was perhaps responsible for the accident and maybe crashed it deliberately.

Muriel then asks about her father’s car and if he got it fixed. Her mother asks if he tried any of the “funny business” with the trees, to which Muriel replies with a no. Her mother inquires about the drive to the hotel and Muriel explains that Seymour, her husband, drove them without putting them in harm’s way.
