denouement

Before the denouement came one more opportunity to chastise the Australians, one more chance to be at the centre of a red-hot Ashes tussle.

The ending, always the hardest thing to land in horror stories, falls short of perfection only because it’s almost glossed over; I missed the denouement on the first read.

There is hope here and across the region that there may soon be a denouement to the war.

An intriguing denouement confirms that readers of icons from Charles Dickens to Anne Perry can do no better than spending time with Charles Lenox, his family and ever-widening circle of friends.

Surely, you think, when we get to the denouement, Anderson will put a few words on the screen letting us know if everyone is OK.
