Reading Journal "An Inspector Calls"

Question: At any point of the story take a guess as to how the story will go on or finally conclude. What is going to happen?

I imagine that the hardest is that Sheila thought by the moment she met Eva/Daisy that this woman is more beautiful than herself. And that fact that Gerald wasn`t honest to her by saying that he was really busy in the summer.  I commiserate very mu...
