What happened once the inspector visited the home to Gerald ?
He was open and honest about his affair
I believe your right sir
Sucking up to Mr Birling by agreeing with whatever he says
I didn’t install her there to make love to her

We’re respectable citizens, not criminals
Gerald doesn’t take blame and thinks they’re not responsible
Don’t say anything to the inspector
Gerald’s trying to hide info from IG, not knowing IG knows it all already, it could mean Gerald did not tell the entire story about him and ES in the play
We have no proof it was the same photograph and therefore no proof it was the same girl
Even though Gerald admits he was at fault slightly he still rather not take any blame
