My Late Husband

From the start, Mary praises her late husband and quotes the 10 Commandments, which she knew before she could count up to 10

When nearing 20, she knew she had to leave the orphanage, leaving her place to a new orphan

A solitary aging man married her

While serving him ungrudging, she tried in vain to exist, hum a tune, paint a picture ...

Only at the end do we realize she is in a prison cell, an "innocent murderess", feeling here she can be "freer than ever before"
