[Theophilus]

I don't think there is such a thing as: "death with dignity". She imagined a vain thing. Death is the consequence of sin followed by undignified corruption by fire, worm or rot. Though Mrs Maynard was her own executioner, there's no denying it, she is naked and rotting, she has no dignity.

Job 19:
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

[Nepeta]

Death is the consequence of sin

there's no denying it, she is naked and rotting, she has no dignity.

And neither will you, more than likely, when you croak.
