This story it was so great!!! I think that it was one of my favorites, but all the stories were more interesting in general and amazing!!!!
In particular this story had two important topics, the first one was how the love can make you do to many things although them can be bad things for example: the thing that Mr Sterndale did that was a killed a man, and the second one was the avarice, how people can killed to other person for money, in general the story was interesting and the end was very surprising and i like this kind of ends because you never know what can be happen....
