In the second part of the thrilling Christmas mystery, suspicion falls on Audrey's special bread sauce as questions arise over the sudden death of one of the guests. Victor Cabot, who had allergies, fell to the floor and died after consuming the bread sauce. It is revealed that the bread sauce contained mace, a spice made from the outer casing of a nutmeg, which Victor was allergic to. The guests discuss Victor's Jewish faith and how he would not have eaten the bread sauce due to dietary restrictions. The possibility of murder is considered, but it is uncertain why Audrey would want to kill her husband.
