An Awful Thought

I have just finished reading a brilliant book, "End Game", which 
summarizes all the various endings that people have written to "The 
Mystery of Edwin Drood".  As most people know, Dickens died suddenly 
while less than half way through his last book, and it has been a 
happy hunting ground ever since for clues to how it was going to end.
(Remind you of anything?)
Now the awful thought that struck me was: If (God forbid) Jo was run 
over by a bus tomorrow, would we be in the same position as the 
Droodists, endlessly theorizing but never able to reach a 
satisfactory conclusion.  I cant bear to think about it.
