Waddington's+version

= Waddington’s version of the cause of Walter’s death with Kitty’s version. = ==== Walter’s last words were " The dog it was that died."And after his burying Kitty wanted to know this meaning and asked about it to Waddington. But Waddington's lips outlined a smile and he was ready with his answer. But perhaps at that moment his sensibilities were abnormally acute. Kitty was not looking at him, but there was something about her expression which made him change his mind and he answered that he didn’t know it. ==== ==== When Kitty were alone with her husband  Waddington had a talk with the regimental surgeon. He thought they ought to have some details and he could make out Kitty's husband got infected during the course of experiments he was making.Walter was always experimenting. He wasn't really a doctor, he was a bacteriologist.But Waddington couldn't quite make out from the surgeon's statements whether Walter was infected accidentally or whether he was actually experimenting on himself.Waddington considered that Walter died a martyr to science and to his duty. ==== ==== But Kitty thought in another way. She considered Walter really loved her and he could do everything for her but she made a mistake to fall in love with Charlie. Even that Walter could forgive in spite of his pride.He really wanted to be happy with Kitty but she didn't.Kitty thought that Walter died of a broken heart.Walter was madly in love with her but it was love on one side. And in the end of the story she asked Waddington again w hat Walter meant by saying: The dog it was that died? What is it? Waddington answered that It was the last line of Goldsmith's //Elegy// and the dog it was Walter who was the faithful husband to Kitty but she hoped with all her heart that she had learnt compassion and charity. She could not know what the future had in store for her, but she felt in herself the strength to accept whatever was to come with a light and buoyant spirit.==== ====I think Kitty's version of Walter's death is closer to the truth because Walter was faithful to her but she didn't see what she wanted in him.And at the end of the story she understood what he actually was.====
