NPPF Parachuting In ADA

"Although Lucette had never died before - no, dived before, Violet - from
such a height, in such a disorder of shadows and snaking reflections, she
went with hardly a splash through the wave that humped to welcome her. That
perfect end was spoiled by her instinctively surfacing in an immediate
sweep - instead of surrendering under water to her drugged lassitude as she
had planned to do on her last night ashore if it ever did come to this. The
silly girl had not rehearsed the technique of suicide as, say, free-fall
parachutists do every day in the element of another chapter."
