Vardaman (ch 15) Vardaman runs out of the house and begins to cry.

They had no choice but to suffer alone without medication, and were quickly buried along the tracks as they died. This event may have sparked the adage that there was an Irishman buried for every sleeper (railroad tie) on the tracks. The men labored from sunrise to sunset in very dangerous conditions, clearing ground, trees, stumps, rocks, and cutting or blasting through boulders, hills, and mountains, digging irrigation channels and building supports
The burial of Madeline in the tombs underneath the Usher house disturbs the narrator but also reveals to him that Roderick and Madeline are twins.
