The talk was in rather a lower tone than usual to-day, hushed a little by the sound of Mr. Irwine's voice reading the final prayers of the burial-service. They had all had their word of pity for poor Thias, but now they had got upon the nearer subject of their own grievances against Satchell, the Squire's bailiff, who played the part of steward so far as it was not performed by old Mr.
And therefore I have bidden these funeral-friends, and bespoken the sexton's deepest knell, and am come in my shroud to wed you as with a burial-service, that we may join our hands at the door of the sepulchre and enter it together." It was not frenzy, it was not merely the drunkenness of strong emotion in a heart unused to it, that now wrought upon the bride.
may pronounce the familiar but respectable words, the burial-service of a time so happy! Mr. See the consequences.
"Don't anticipate trouble, Talbot," he whispered. "But I must prepare myself for a possible emergency," was the reply. "Now, what emergency can possibly arise?" "The burial of the dead, perhaps," said Brooke. "They are going to attack the castle. Some will be killed. That's natural enough. Have you nerve enough to perform the burial-service?" "I don't know," said Talbot.
So emaciated was the poor dead sailor that his remains were no heavier than a small boy. On reaching the spot, we found the crumbled pumice-stone. We placed the body in a crevice among the lava rocks, and then I said what I could remember of the burial-service.

"Let's put the poor fellow under ground."

"I might as well try to command a regiment." "Oh, I'll show you the whole thing. All you've got to do is to read the burial-service out of the breviary. We'll practice it together. You need only pronounce the Latin like Italian. Do you know Italian?" "No." "French?" "No." "Oh, well, you're an English priest, you know, and so you had better pronounce it like English.
I regret to say that, though I would not willingly prejudge any man, much less a brother clergyman, I do not feel that it would be seemly on my part, under the circumstances, to avail myself of your assistance today in the burial-service for the late Mr Wodehouse. Believe me, very sincerely yours,
