He began to crawl up the well walls and grabbed her foot snd tried to drag her in with him. She finaly was able to kick his face to make him let go and fall. She stayed by the well for a little while and fell asleep. When she woke up she went to the house and tried to get some sleep but she couldn't because she was afraid that he would finaly make it all the way up to the well this time and kill her. So she put on some jeans and a sweater and went outside to check on him and when she did, she saw his head popping out of the well and she froze. He was scraping the board with his fingernails and he was almost all the way out when the board snapped and he fell all the way back down to the bottom of the well. She wanted make sure he was dead so she threw a big rock down on top of him and thats when he died. After she threw the rcok she fainted.

Good post and summarization. I would also be pretty shocked too if I was left some million dollars and wondered why her kids hadn't got it, maybe she told her that so she would have to question her about her kids...

Good post! Even though it was a tragic story, Dolores at least had some kind of reconciliation at the end when she was able to clear her conscience. So much happened, and the only real positive for Dolores was the money Vera left her. Imagine having such a hard life and then not being able to enjoy a prize someone willed to you.
