Did he light the fire place or burn the house...

I really am not 100% sure about either one if he started the fire place or if he burnt the house down! But I personally would go with the idea that he burn the house down because he obviously didn't want her all night the night before and she even tried to get him drunk so he would sleep with her. But he didn't want to so he chose to sleep in the bath tub. I mean think about it she constantly tried to make the move the night before and when she tried to get him drunk it probably crossed the line so he figured when he woke up he would solve the problem or her bothering him and by burning the house down she would think he is crazy and leave him alone. It would have been a perfect time for him to do it also because she was a single independent woman that had went to work and non of her neighbors would have expected someone to be over at the house so he could just light it on fire and then leave!
