 * 1) Almost
 * 2) Lucy
 * 3) Her behaviors and thoughts at the end of the story.
 * 4) “After that it was just a matter of getting hold of a gun herself, and giving him every chance to prove her guess was wrong.”(In the last paragraph)
 * 5) What does the character “Gib Porter” want to tell us?

 * 2) This is a mystery. I rarely read this genre of book and I don’t like the entangled feeling it gives me.
