She then moves to the topic of the allegations made ... are obviously running high when she states, She was portrayed as a lesbian who hated men and a vamp who could be ensnared and painfully rejected by them (Morrison xvi).

- ... can be explained naturally. The story being as vague as it is leads most to concur with the title of the story and imagine that there is a supernatural aspect in the story. In the short story, Kathleen has returned to her home in London that has been abandoned during the bombing of World War II. She is not expected, yet she finds a letter addressed to her on a table ... was cause to scream. It must have been someone she knew was a threat to her.

If the police had had this case, it would have looked like Mrs ...

- ... So much pain that she attempts suicide. Clym and Wildeve try in vain to save her, but they can not and Eustacia dies before Clym could tell her of his love for her.
