The Birling family and Gerald Croft, the lover of Sheila Birling, sit together in an evening. They're talking about Sheila and Gerald because they're getting married. Gerald's father and Mr. Birling were rivals in the business, but they've been working together since Gerald and Sheila have been together. Gerald's giving Sheila a ring. Afterwards a discussion about war and the behaviour of the "today's" generation begins.
Eric, Sheila and Sybil Birling went to another room to talk about the clothes for the wedding. Gerald and Arthur are sitting in the dining room and Arthur says he has a good chance of making the Honours List (list of important guests at the Queen's birthday party). He hopes to gain the knighthood. He admonishes Gerald not to allow himself a scandal.
Eric comes back to the dining room and the doorbell rings. A certain Inspector Goole enters the dining room. Inspector Goole tells that a certain Eva Smith was found dead. She had committed suicide with disinfectant. The inspector tells that Eva Smith was employed by Arthur Birling. Arthur remembers Eva and says that he fired her two years ago because she demanded more pay for her work.
Arthur Birling is a member of Bench (group of judges).
Two years ago, Arthur was the Lord Mayor.
Arthur knows the chief of police, Colonel Roberts.
