[David] My own darling sweetheart.

314

Well, at last it's all over.

315

Mama took ill [A1] in the afternoon,

316

then began haemorrhaging[A2] 

in the early hours.

317

Doctors plied[A3]  her

with tranquilizers[A4]  and morphine

318

to ensure[A5]  there was no suffering.

319

In the end, she passed in her sleep.

320

I was sad, of course,

321

but let's not forget

how she clung to such hatred for me,

322

her eldest, till the last.

323

I'm afraid her blood ran as icy cold

when she was alive

324

as it does now she's dead.

325

Later in the day,

all the members of the family assembled

326

to identify [A6] which of her personal

possessions[A7]  they would most like.

327

Not entirely.

328

I told Shirley Temple

what I had my eye on[A8] .

329

Because I shan't be there

when the jackals[A9]  descend[A10] 

330

I don't suppose it will do much good.

331

What a vile[A11] , tawdry[A12]  rabble[A13] 

my relatives[A14] are

332

and what a sad, desiccated[A15]  bunch of

hyenas[A16]  most of them have become.

333

But I'm tired of talking about it.

334

I yearn[A17]  for our perfect life together,

335

away from the snarling[A18] 

and the sniping[A19]  of the Court[A20] .

336

I adore you, my sweetheart,

337

more deeply than you will ever realize,

338

and I am furiously mad

that you aren't here with me

339

as you ought by right to be.
