The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield: "The end was quite peaceful," said the small voice. "He just"--and Hammond
saw her lift her gentle hand--"breathed his life away at the end." And her
hand fell.
"Who--else was there?" Hammond managed to ask.
"Nobody. I was alone with him."
Ah, my God, what was she saying! What was she doing to him! This would
kill him! And all the while she spoke:
"I saw the change coming and I sent the steward for the doctor, but the
doctor was too late. He couldn't have done anything, anyway."
"But--why you, why you?" moaned Hammond.
At that Janey turned quickly, quickly searched his face.
