Attached to the necklace were more diamonds with one of them dangling centrally down. Her pearl hued elbow length fancy gloves went well with her dress. Her curly hair was in a topknot that showed off her soft dove like eyes. Her features were pert. Her male companion was the height of fashion for that era. On his head was a black stovepipe hate. His hair was dark brown, parted in the middle. His "Arrow" style starched collar complemented so dashingly his vested suit and matching navy suit …show more content…

Hearing what her colleague said made Lady Lynda feel in deep bad humor. Her heart began to palpate. It was too early to tell what would happen next. Where were they leading her? Could she escape in time?

  • Ghosts in Afterward by Edith Wharton

    1461 Words  | 3 Pages

    Most people are very convinced that they will recognize a ghost right away when they see one. The portrayal of ghosts in movies and ghost stories has set initial expectations of ghosts’ appearances and behaviors. However, people do not have the ability to recognize ghosts promptly when they encounter them. After all, as Michael Cox and R.A. Gilbert mentioned, ghosts are just dead people that remain in our memories and that we have no choice but to learn to live with their continuing presence (1). If people’s minds are preset on the fact that they are able to identify ghosts immediately, they will miss out on key opportunities to learn about important values in the long term through the presence of ghosts. Since ghosts are dead people, they have lived in the past; they know about history and what values are most important. Therefore, in “Afterward”, Edith Warton deliberately depicts the ghost as something that one does not recognize until long after to prove that dishonesty among family members causes the death of the family relationship.

    “People give up the ghost with delicacy and taste inside the hospital. There was none of that crude, ugly ostentation about dying that was so common outside the hospital. They did not blow up in mid air like Kraft or the dead man in Yossarian’s tent, or freeze to death in the blazing summer time the way Snowden had frozen to death after spilling his secret to Yossarian in the back of the plane. “I’m cold, Snowden had whimpered. I’m cold.” “There, there”, Yossarian had tried to comfort him. There, there.” They didn’t take it on the lamb weirdly inside a cloud the way Clevinger had done. They didn’t explode into blood and clotted matter.”

Looking to my right, I saw the dozens of people who added to the monotonous wailing that invaded my ears: these things, they have been archived into my memory forever.
