Just a small question, really. I was watching an old Hitchcock episode
last night and the story was predictably about murder. Specifically,
the murder of a wife by her husband. It caused me to consider that almost
all such stories invariably end up in a kicker of some sort which involves
a unique or unusual manner in which the killer gets caught.
I was just wondering if you can think of a story in which the kicker is that
the husband actually regrets killing his wife because he deeply misses her
and wishes she were alive again?
Just curious.

No, but there's a song by Tom Lehrer that expresses that noble sentiment. It goes something like this: "I HOLD YOUR HAND IN MINE, DEAR" by Tom Lehrer I hold your hand in mine, dear; I press it to my lips; I take a healthy bite from Your dainty fingertips. The night you died, I cut if off, I really don't know why; For now each time I kiss it, I get bloodstains on my tie. I'm sorry now I killed you, For our love was something fine; Until they come to get me, I will hold you hand in mine. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Whatever I write are not the opinions or policies of Digital Research, Inc.,| |and probably won't be in the foreseeable future. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Bruce Holloway ....!ucbvax!hplabs!amdahl!drivax!holloway (I'm not THAT Bruce Holloway, I'm the other one.)
