However, when the doors were thrown open, I very quickly, with a profound reverence, obtained my prize, and at once confiding to her for had I deliberated I should have been lost the remainder of the pleasing duty it had been predestined I was to have the honour to perform, we glided through couples darting in various directions for similar objects, until, finding ourselves in a formal procession sufficiently near to the lady in question, we proceeded, at a funereal pace, towards our doom, which proved to be a most delightful one.
I looked away only to perceive something pitiless, belittling, and cruel in the precipitous immobility of the sheer walls, in the dark funereal green of the foliage, in the falling shadows, in the remoteness of the sky. The unconsciousness of matter hinted at a weird and mysterious antagonism.
Old Meg, moving to and fro, kept shaking her head like her master, as if she also were in the secret of some house-misery; but she was only indulging the funereal temperament of an ancient woman.

The huge funereal minutes conducted their sonorous hearse, the hour. It struck in the bed-room: Three. No more than three of the clock, it was the voice telling of half the precious restorative night-hours wasted.
I thought these very large chrysanthemums I chose them on purpose " "Hideous you're a perfect fright! Look at me. Is there anything to laugh at in my velvet bonnet? Does it poke itself on the back of my head? And does it deck itself in pink and yellow?" "It looks funereal, Martha, it's all black." "Funereal! It looks suitable. Come on, or we'll be late."
