They are all men, not a woman or child among them, bearded men with white skins, and wearing the garb of civilisation. This not of the most fashionable kind or cut, nor are they all in the exact drew of civilised life.
But she would not accept such a sacrifice. He must come back at once and explain himself before the deputies. "My son, where is my son?" "Below, madame, in his carriage. It was he who sent me to look for you." She ran before the attendant, walking quickly, talking aloud, pushing aside out of her way the little black and bearded men who were gesticulating in the passages.
There was no debate on the deceased's religious evidences no distribution of black crape no tearful beating down of the undertaker; these accessories of a civilized deathbed were all scornfully disregarded by the bearded men who had feelingly drank to Twitchett's good luck in whatever world he had gone to.
