As for my emotions when I paused at the graveside of William Shakspere ah, sir, a more gifted pen than mine were required to describe my sensations at this hallowed moment. Constantly I strove to impress on our eight young-lady seniors the tremendous value, for future conversational purposes, of the sights, the associations and the memories with which we were now thrown in such intimate contact.
The life-boat men had mustered in force, and altogether there was a large attendance at the graveside. At one point a fit of coughing interrupted the Vicar in his recital of the service. I was the one auditor, however, who understood the meaning of it. That evening we took our dessert again under the great elm.
When the funeral reached the graveside, the idea struck the manager that, as he was wearing a clean, white shirt, it would be the proper thing to open the coffin, put his shirt on the corpse, and this was done.
So that on the whole it may be said that he had a very good natural taste. He at once liked Chopin's Funeral March. He entered profoundly into the spirit of it. With the gun-metal levers he produced in a marvellous fashion the long tragic roll of the drums, and by the manipulation of a clutch he distilled into the chant at the graveside a melancholy sweetness that rent the heart.
They could not have made Bladesover they cannot replace it; they just happen to break out over it saprophytically. Well that was my last impression of Bladesover. So far as I can remember now, except for that one emotional phase by the graveside, I passed through all these experiences rather callously.
The day of the funeral came. Mary stood by the graveside quietly, with a veil down over her face. Walter Gray was by her side. She had come in the doctor's carriage, and she had no leisure or thought for the insolence with which Lady Iniscrone stared at her, as though her presence there required explanation. She was going to work, to begin at once.
"They woult like it iff you woult. And he was a goot old man. They tell me to ask if you woult be pleased to come." "If they would like us to come we will come, Mrs. Carré," said Margaret. And so it came about that instead of kneeling before the altar that Wednesday they stood by the graveside. The Red House and the cottage were centres nay, whirlpools of mighty activities for days beforehand.
Involuntarily he stole a little nearer, though he felt somehow that it would not do to come too close. A hymn was sung at the graveside, the band accompanying. Peer took off his cap. He was too taken up to notice that one of the mourners was watching him intently, and presently left the group and came towards him.
In accordance with a custom of the time and place, the coffin was opened at the graveside and the entire assembly of friends and neighbors filed past, taking a last look at the face of the dead. And then, before the eyes of all, Silas Deemer was put into the ground.
On the banks of the Sze his disciples buried him; and for three years mourned at his grave. But Tse Kung built himself a cabin at the graveside, and remained there three years longer. "All my life," said he, "I have had heaven above my head, but I do not know its height. I have had earth beneath my feet, but I have not known its magnitude.
