B."The misbeats of my heart tailed off like the last muffled flourishes on one of the wooden xylophones made by the Chopi and Tsonga migrant miners who might have been down there, under me in the earth at that moment."
C. "I lay quite still—a victim already—the arrhythmia of my heart was fleeing, knocking this way and that against its body-cage."
D."These people were not allowed into the suburb except as reliable housemaids and gardeners, so there was nothing to fear."
