Immediately after he commits the murder, the narrator feels very calm and confident, he describes the whole situation in which he disarmed the body:

<em>First I cut off the  head, then the arms and the legs. I  was careful not to let a single drop  of blood fall on the floor. I pulled  up three of the boards that formed  the floor, and put the pieces of the  body there. Then I put the boards  down again, carefully, so carefully  that no human eye could see that  they had been moved.</em>

Then, while he is talking to the officers, he starts feeling guilty, so guilty that he imagines the sound of the heart beating. He thinks that the officers can also hear the sound and that they are setting a trap. He ends up confessing the murder:

<em>No! They heard! I was certain of it. They knew! Now it was they  who were playing a game with me. I was suffering more than I could  bear, from their smiles, and from that sound. Louder, louder, louder!  Suddenly I could bear it no longer. I pointed at the boards and cried,  “Yes! Yes, I killed him. Pull up the boards and you shall see! I killed  him. But why does his heart not stop beating?! Why does it not stop!?</em>

I think the answer would be to ask again. The word remand means to send back or to remit. An example of this word would be when one is sending a case back to the court for more action tot be done. Hope this answers the question.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. She was a small woman, short and straight-waisted like a child in her brown cott
lisabon 2012 [21]

         The excerpt uses explicit details in the following way: it provides a <u>physical description</u> of Sarah Penn (small woman, short waist, gray hair, mild forehead, downward lines about her nose and mouth). All of it is explicit, since there is no room for interpretation, it is what it is. In other words, such details are concrete ones, since they are physical and nothing else.

         As for implicit details, we can find them in a figure of speech (a <u>hypallage</u>, which uses an adjective or participle to describe a noun other than the person or thing it is in fact describing): we learn Sarah Penn's forehead was benevolent, that is, it showed her benevolence (an implicit detail, since it was Sarah, and not her forehead, that was benevolent). It is a trait which implicitly tells something about the character's personality. There is also the description of <u>meek downward lines</u> about her nose and mouth. Again, a hypallage which implicitly tells us something about the character: it is Sarah who is gentle and humble, and not the lines about her nose and mouth.
