Quote #10
Serena had still been standing but the guard swore that she was already dead. Those among the towns-people who'd known her, including the police chief and the doctor, had no doubts at all as to the veracity of this aspect of the guard's account. (Coda.7)
In the end Serena dies, too, but she doesn't take this development lying down. Nope, she stands right until the bitter end, showing that even in the face of death she's too stubborn to play by anyone's rules.
