"I want to know," he said, sidling up, "how much it would cost to send that by the cars to St. Hennon's." He nudged his elbow towards the coffin as he spoke. "That box?" asked the station-master. "How much does it weigh?" "We might weigh it if I'd some notion first about how much I'd need to pay." "What's in it?" Saul smoothed his whiskers again.
Hennon's?" asked Saul meditatively, "But anyway, the Englishman wouldn't like to take in a coffin." "They pass some time in the night; and he must take it in if you write on it where it's going. It's not his business to say what the cars will take, if you pay." "Well," said Saul. "Good-day. Yo-hoist! Yo, yo, ho-hoist!"
Trenholme felt it with his thumb and fingers. "It's perfectly loose," he cried. "It's only got a few nails in the lid. You ought to have put in screws, you know." "Yes, but we hadn't got any; we had used the last screws we had for the hinge of a door. I'm going to buy some to put in at St. Hennon's. Good-day."
He wanted it done proper, in a graveyard, by a minister. He has wrote to the minister at St. Hennon's and sent money for the burying Mr. Bates, he is always particular." "You are not going to St. Hennon's?" said the boy incredulously. "I'll stay to-night at Turrifs, and go on in the morning. It's four days' walk for me and the cattle to go and come, but I shall take back a man to cut the trees."
"I don't know about a certificate. You've heard of the Bates and Cameron clearin', I s'pose; it's old Cameron that's dead" again he nudged his elbow coffinward "and Mr. Bates he wrote a letter to the minister at St. Hennon's." He took the letter from his pocket as he spoke, and Trenholme perceived that it was addressed in a legible hand and sealed. "I fancy it's all right," said he doubtfully.
