  6. Summary of P03M • The lady who died loved one has gone off to marry a wealthy woman. "It cannot hurt her now.." The dead woman asks if it is her "nearest dearest kin" doing the digging.  Again the answer is no. Her kinfolk feel that planting flowers on her grave is a waste of time and energy since it will not bring back her back from death. The third question she asks was if it is her enemy that is turning up the clods. No, her female enemy buried her hatred when she heard the questioner's death and cares not where she is entombed. The dead speaker gives up guessing in and asks the identity of the digger. She learns that it is her dog who hopes he has not disturbed her. The woman expresses her happiness that "one true heart was left behind" and praises her dog's faithfulness. In concluding, the dog apologizes. The animal was merely burying a bone against future hunger, having totally forgotten that this was its mistress's resting place.
