He put us in behind a pile o' little rocks in about the middle o' the place near where Judge Ming hung out, an' then retired on the main body at the double, leavin' us two in outpost alone there together. I hadn't never been ter a Chino buryin' ground before, an' night time wasn't extree pleasant fer a foist introduce.
You know where Governor Campbell lives, don't you, in a large stone house with a great wall round it, that looks like a state prison; well, near hand there is a nasty dirty horrid-lookin' buryin' ground there; it's filled with large grave rats as big as kittens, and the springs of black water there go through the chinks of the rocks and flow into all the wells, and fairly pyson the folks; it's a dismal place, I tell you; I wonder the air from it don't turn all the silver in the Governor's house of a brass colour and folks say he has four cart loads of it it's so everlastin' bad; it's near about as nosey as a slave ship of niggers.
"I mind, noo, it was some puir body frae the Coogate, wi' no' ony mourners but the sma' terrier aneath the coffin. I let 'im pass, no' to mak' a disturbance at a buryin'. The deal box was fetched up by the police, an' carried by sic a crew o' gaol-birds as wad mak' ye turn ower in yer ain God's hole. But he paid for his buryin' wi' his ain siller, an' noo lies as canny as the nobeelity.
'Well, well, I always thought it 'ud be me that 'ud have the buryin' o' Dan an' Mary. An' off wid him then up the hill to Dalys', but he'll be apt to be lookin' in on his way back." "He will, to be sure," agreed Mary, in rather doleful tones. When Mrs. Kinsella had departed she sat cowering over the fire without heeding her unfinished cup of tea.
"She's a-goin' to bury me. She's got the spade hid under my bed now." Sudden emotion completely changed Mrs. Dodd's countenance. "There, there, Willie," she said, stroking him kindly. "Where is your ma?" "She's out in the orchard with Ebbie and Rebbie." "Well now, deary, don't you say nothin' at all to your ma, an' we'll fool her. The idea of buryin' a nice little boy like you!
'She bid me come and see her, said Kester. 'Only this mornin', at missus' buryin', she telled me to come. So Phoebe went off to inform Sylvia that Kester was there; and returned with the desire that he would walk into the parlour. An instant after he was gone, Phoebe heard him return, and carefully shut the two doors of communication between the kitchen and sitting-room.
"I'll jest die at home, Davie," she said in her quiet voice. "You'll take the money put away for our buryin' an' go, dearie!" Davie cried out fiercely. His gaunt frame, stooped as a scholar's, shook so pitifully with his grief, she had not the heart to gainsay him, but after she promised him it only shook the more.
I thought one time she was goin' to die on my 'ands. And 'oo was to pay for 'er buryin', I'd like to know? That's w'at it is! 'Oo's goin' to pay for 'er buryin' and the food she eats; to say nothin' of 'er room money, and that's been owin' me for a matter of three weeks?" "How should I know who is going to pay for it? She will, I suppose." "She! W'at with?
His spurs lay on a table, his wide hat beside them. The star of his office shone on his suspender strap. "Step Service," said the girl straightly, "when are you goin' to look into this here murder?" Service swung round and shot an ugly look at her from his small eyes. "Have already done so," he said, "ben out an' saw to th' buryin'!" Tharon gasped. "Buried him already? How dared you do it?"
"Because, Bill, you got such an all-fired pretty wife, that's why. All the fellows is crazy over her, an' when they get to runnin' after her, what'll you be doin'? You'll be gettin' busy. And then won't you need a buryin' association to bury 'em? I just guess yes. That was the compliment to your good taste in skirts I was tryin' to come across with when Mary butted in."
