11. review the excerpt
even though dad's coffin was empty, his closet was full. and even after
more than a year, it still smelled like shaving. i touched all of his white
t-shirts. i touched his fancy watch that he never wore and the extra laces
for his sneakers that would never run around the reservoir again. i put my
hands into the pockets of all of his jackets (i found a receipt for a cab, a
wrapper from a miniature krackle, and the business card of a diamond
supplier). i put my feet into his slippers. i looked at myself in his metal
shoehorn. the average person falls asleep in seven minutes, but i couldn't
sleep, not after hours, and it made my boots lighter to be around his things,
and to touch stuff that he had touched, and to make the hangers hang a
little straighter, even though i knew it didn't matter

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
