I could paraphrase her observations, but I wouldn't do them justice. She did mention <em>House</em>, though.

Especially as I'm interested to see how YOU handle it. Just for the fun of it (of course, I don't know how your plot goes), if you really want Proulx to throw the others into a tizzy, you have him say something dramatic like this: "How do I know she acted alone? I just know." See? That "she" is going to wreak all kinds of havoc, ha ha. Probably on your plot.
