XXII. Underline the ten defining relative clauses in the dialogue. Then circle the relative pronoun in each one and indicate whether it is a subject (S) or object (O) pronoun.

Holt and Watkins, private detectives, are discussing a murder.

W: So who was the one who killed Mr Makepeace? (S)

H: Can’t you guess?

W: Well, I think it was probably the woman who was staying in the room next door to him.

H: No, Watkins, of course it wasn’t. She only wanted the money he owed her. She won’t get that now that he’s dead.

W: Oh yes, I hadn’t thought about that. So was it Mr Grant, the man who always shared their table in the evenings?

H: No, Watkins. It’s true he loved Mrs Makepeace but he knew that she didn’t love him. And he probably believed that she could never fall in love with a man who had murdered her husband.

W: I suppose that’s true. So who was it then? The son? Do you think that he wanted to have the money that would be due to him from his father’s life insurance policy?

H: Well no, because he knew that the insurance policy would be invalid if his father died suspiciously. And apart from that, I think that in a way he loved his father. The one he hates is Mr Bottomley, the man his mother is in love with.

W: So who did kill Mr Makepeace?

H: Well, I feel quite sure now that it was Mrs Makepeace.

W: Mrs Makepeace!

H: Yes. She had never loved the man she had married. What she loved was all the money he had. Then Mr Bottomley came along. He had money too and she loved him. But she had to get Mr Makepeace out of the way.

XXIII. Join the two sentences together, making the second sentence a defining relative clause. Use the relative pronoun that is most commonly used or no pronoun at all were this is possible.
