Some three days afterward his funeral took place, when the dog followed the remains of his master to the grave-yard, which was nearly ten miles from the residence of the family.

When he entered the house he found the plaid cloak, formerly his master's, hanging in the entry.
Some city speculation had made him rich, and they sat a terrible dash but I won't speak of that, Mary. If ever the old adversary does rise in my bosom, it is when I remember the way those two persons drove by the house they had made gloomy as a grave-yard. "Hannah was sitting by the window.
If that hill didn't change its shape on bad nights there would be an awful steamboat grave-yard around here inside of a year. It was plain that I had got to learn the shape of the river in all the different ways that could be thought of, upside down, wrong end first, inside out, fore-and-aft, and 'thortships, and then know what to do on gray nights when it hadn't any shape at all.

When I was upon a certain duty last month, I lay three nights in a grave-yard. None troubled me, even though the dead had been removed from their graves by the violence of shells bursting. One was a woman of this country, newly dead, whom we reburied for the sake of the Pity of Allah, and made the prayer. There was no time for the full purification.
He proposed to his brother Isham, who had been his accomplice in the George affair, that they should finish the play of life with a still deeper tragedy. The plan was, that they should shoot one another. Having made the hot-brained bargain, they repaired with their guns to the grave-yard, which was on an eminence in the midst of his plantation.
In the centre of the quaint old Virginia grave-yard stood two monuments side by side two plain granite shafts exactly alike. On one was inscribed the name Robert Vaughan Fairfax and the year 1864. On the other was the simple and perplexing inscription, "Cahoots." Nothing more.
How should I be mistaken? When a mother buries her child deep in the grave-yard, does she forget what mothers' love is? Those who forget their youth in happiness may be deceived. I never can!" "And you think he loves me?" Mary leaned forward and laid her clasped hands pleadingly on the knotted fingers of the old maid.
