This is a short stort story called "Pauline's Passion and Punishment" by Louisa May Alcott. If you haven't read the story, you don't need to read it all the way through, just the last couple of paragraphs. Does Gilbert kill Manuel? Does anyone else die?
 
I hadn't read this one before. Thanks for bringing it to my attention (though you didn't particularly bring it to MY attention). :) Yes, Gilbert kills Manuel by pushing him over the ledge. At the same time, it seems, Mrs. Redmond - Babie - fell, too. You know that because there are only two people left alive out of the four, one man and one woman. The woman is Pauline, because this is the beginning of her torment and remorse. Since Gilbert pushed Manuel, the man left must be Gilbert.

That's my take on it.
