Last Chapter
There is an excellent custom among suicidal people, which is not to leave life without telling the reason and the circumstances that arm them against it. Those who go quietly rarely do so out of pride; in most cases they either don't have time or can't write. It's an excellent custom: firstly, it's an act of courtesy, this world not being a ball from which a man can sneak out before the cotillion; secondly, the press collects and publicizes the posthumous notes, and the dead person still lives for a day or two, sometimes a week longer.
