The sense of ending is a 2011 novel written by British author Julian Barned. The book is Bans 11th novel written under his own name. . The sense of ending is narrated by a retired man named Tony Webster.  

 In the novel Veronica mentions blood money, may be the compensation of given to one’ family members after the death of the person. As Adrian has no one except Tony Sarah might have left behind for him in the will as the amount Tony got was after Sarah’s death.

     How do you decipher the equation: b = s – v x/+ a1 or a2 + v + a1 X s = b?

1) b= s-v x/+ a1

    It means B= baby and s= Sarah, v =Veronica, a1 =Adrian. And thus baby born.  B=Baby, S= Sarah, V=Veronica, a1= Adrian.

A2+ V+ a1 X S =B

A2= Antony Webster, V=Veronica, A1= Adrian, S= Sarah Ford, B=Baby, a1X s= a1’s relationship with S. So it indicates that the result of baby is the relationship between Adrian with Sarah .
