Quaker ex Machina

Your responses to the end of Harding Davis's story have stuck with me this afternoon.
I wonder if another way to think about the abruptness and lack of details when the Quaker woman intervenes is that these factors contribute to the stunning ease with which she does something. She decides to act on behalf of someone and acts--granted, as some of you pointed out, too late for Hugh.
Any more thoughts?
