Three days after, the burial takes place from the dead-house, only males attending. The women never go to the funeral; but some days after, of which public notice is given by advertisement, a public service is held in church, at which all the family are present, and to which the friends are publicly invited.
"Be calm, Frank: I made inquiries myself at the island registry-office. The clerk told me this story, but said that the woman who had charge of the dead asserted that the grave was opened, and it was ascertained that absolute death had taken place. "Alas!" said Frank, in a voice of despair, "I saw that woman the keeper of the dead-house the grave-digger's wife.
"And now the Sandhill with the sad tidings rings, And the tubs of the taties are left to take care; Fishwomen desert their crabs, lobsters, and lings, And each to the dead-house now runs like a hare; The glassmen, some naked, some clad, heard the news, And off they ran, smoking like hot mutton pies; Whilst Castle Garth tailors, like wild kangaroos, Came tail-on-end jumping to see my Lord 'Size.
I suppose that wealth and rank have some privileges; but it is the law that the person having been pronounced dead by the physician shall be the same day brought to the dead-house, and lie there three whole days before interment.

They pushed it aside, and stepping over a pile of sacks, found themselves in a covered shed overlooking the sea. A place of curious aspect, with no sign of life in it All was as still and gloomy-looking as if it were a huge mausoleum. "I know what this place is," said Harry Girdwood. "What?" "It must be the dead-house on the terrace that I see noted down in old Dougherty's plans."

"But now we must be quick, because your Aunt Jane has come." "Who's her?" asked Diana. "A very good lady indeed your aunt." "What's an aunt?" "A lady whom you ought to love very much." "Ought I? I never love people I ought to love," said Diana firmly. "Please, father, this is the dead-house. You can come right in if you like, father, and see the dead 'uns; they are all lying on this shelf.
There! Miss Whichello's frank admission that she had visited the dead-house rather disconcerted Mr Cargrim. From the circumstance of the veil, he had presumed that she wished her errand there to be unknown, in which case her conduct would have appeared highly suspicious, since she was supposed to know nothing about Jentham or Jentham's murder.
