Imagine an alternative outcome and its effect for this story"Dusk" by Saki

Of course, any other ending for Saki's cleverly plotted
story "Dusk" with its satiric surprise ending will not measure up to the original, there
are some choices that the writer of this new ending can
make.

Perhaps in keeping with Saki's satire of Norman
Gortsby's cynicism, the ending could be altered by leaving the ending that is the
orginal, but adding to it: Gortsby continues to sit on the bench a while, berating
himself for thinking that he should "not be too clever in judging by circumstances" and
then discovering that he was right after all as the soap did not belong to him, but to
the elderly gentleman. Then, he holds his head and emits a low
moan.

One evening of the following week, Gortsby "counts
himself among the defeated" in judging human nature.  As he sits in the shadows, the
young man happens by.  For a moment, he hesitates, again there is "a catch in his voice"
as he addresses Gortsby as "Sir."

When Gortsby recognizes
the young man, he turns to him and makes a cynical remark (use dialogue here); the young
man responds that he wishes to repay Gortsby, explaining that he felt guilty taking the
money. (Put all this in dialogue)  He quickly repays Gortsby the sovereign and hurries
away.  Now, Gortsby must readjust his opinion a third time.  (Write his
thoughts.)

If the young man returns the money, Gortsby is,
in a sense, defeated in his renewed cynicism and feels confused.  How will he know how
to trust anyone again?  Yet, he should trust people if this young man has returned.  He
sits down again on the bench, holding his head.
