This is because Yu Tsun is more melancholy and full of foreboding. He says lots of ominous, uncheerful things, like "with the eyes of a man already dead, I contemplated the fluctuations of the day which would probably be my last." Since he's the narrator we hear from the most, the overall tone is one of gloom and doom. The story shows that there are many challenges as the story develops, but in the end h<span>e wraps up every little loose end to his labyrinthine narrative in the space of a single paragraph – and in this case, there's a lot to wrap up. </span>

There are subordinating conjunctions that show a relationship between two clauses involving a transition of time or place. In this case, "after" is a subordinating conjunction joining the independent clause "Mrs. Jenkins thanked them gratefully" and the subordinate clause "After the police came to her rescue."
