15. “Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with heart
trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as
possible the news of her husband’s death.
It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken
sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing.
Her husband’s friend Richards was there, too, near her. It
was he who had been in the newspaper office when
intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with
Brently Mallard’s name leading the list “killed”. He had
only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a
second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less
careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message”
from “The awakening and selected stories”, by Kate Chopin
