    Redmond's Delicate Question

    Underneath the mystery in this tale is what purports to be a story of true love, a story that resembles "The Devil's Foot" but with a happier ending. Through no fault of his own, "Holy Peters" is guilty of no murder, though certainly of a few other offences. Do these compromises with tragedy and death weaken the story or strengthen it?
