He comes over later that night and is accidentally killed, the mother covers it up by dumping the body in a swamp nearby. Later a loan shark comes by her daughter's letter tot eh dead man and she is blakc mailed for them by James Mason-clearly his heart isn't into it. Resolving this issue is the important tot he rest of the film.
