Repetition:

"I wept for my old and much loved gardener and his faithful wife who had followed him to the grave. I wept for my absence at their funeral; their being seen off without my being there. I wept from the shame of my own staff thinking me weak and mad and not to be trusted with the truth. And I wept because of that damned pain which climbed the ladder of my ribcage and might have strangled me had it not been for kind Conner. And somewhere in my tears I believe I wept for Mrs. Pledger - for having picked the shortest straw and having to wend her way up to me, to own up to my own staff's deceit."
