Please help! The Note

All Rhonda wanted to do after she got Tracy's note was to barricade herself in somewhere, and tiny little Appleton Library seemed as good a place as any. She brought a few schoolbooks with her and a sci-fi novel in case she just wanted to lose herself. But as she sat in the downstairs cubicle, all she could do was read Tracy's note over and over:

Rhonda,

I won't be going to leadership camp with you after all over Spring Break. My aunt offered to take me on a trip to Costa Rica, and I couldn't pass it up. Sorry. Hope you have fun!

Your friend,

Tracy

As Rhonda read over those last words, she felt a sob well up in her throat. She and her best friend Tracy had been planning their 10 days at leadership camp for months—how they would be roommates, go to classes, and study together. And now "sorry" is all she had to say? Rhonda fought back the tears, but it was of no use. Suddenly, she felt lonelier than she had ever been in her life.

Passage 2

No Take Backs

Not four feet separated us

when you spoke those fatal words,

the corners of your mouth quivering

I wanted to snatch them from the air,

make you take them back,

and return to a time

when every word you uttered

rang clear and pure and true

But the great ticking clock

that marks our minutes and hours

plods relentlessly forward

And there are no take backs

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
