In the story "One Thousand Dollars," how does the use of a third-person limited point of view help create a surprise ending?

A: The lawyer assumes that Gillian spent his $1,000 inheritance in his typically carefree manner and thus has forfeited the greater inheritance.

B: Gillian thinks all along that Miss Hayden loves him, so IS he is now heartbroken to learn that she does not.

C: When the lawyer reads Gillian's account of the $1,000 expenditure, he has no idea who "the best and dearest woman on earth* is.

D: Once Miss Hayden receives the $50,000 inheritance, she realizes that it was primarily Gillian, and not the uncle, who is responsible for her good fortune.
