The wife and her children had the body conveyed to shore and interred in the Catholic cemetery of New York, where a neat marble monument could be seen with these words inscribed: "Pray for the soul of Arthur O'Clery, whose body lies underneath. Requiescat in pace. Amen."
It would be well for this younger generation if they could spend a few hours in that old classroom, with "Bull" pacing up and down the aisle and all of us trembling in our shoes. But Delenda est Carthago fuit Ilium Requiescat in pace. I last saw "Bull" at our fifteenth reunion and we were all just as afraid of him as in the old days at Hollis. But I digress.
What business had such a fellow as that to marry so exquisite a creature!" My heart leaped with a sudden impulse of fury, but I controlled my voice and answered calmly: "Requiescat in pace! He is dead let him rest. Whatever his faults, his wife of course was true to him while he lived; she considered him worthy of fidelity is it not so?"
In the morning only a heap of gray ashes marked the flight of Minnie Coffin's social ambitions. "Requiescat in pace!" murmured Willie as with lips firm with Puritan stoicism he passed by the stove. There he added gently: "Poor Minnie! Poor foolish Minnie!" The invention was finished!
Immediately every person in the pit stood up, and a long shout of triumph resounded through the house, which was heard at the extremity of Bow Street.

May he rest in peace!
I trust, if this meets his eye, he will accept it as a tribute of affectionate recollection from one who worked with him, idled with him, and joked with him for five happy years. Under another face, marked by a more spiritual grace, I find written Requiescat.
When the remains of John Fletcher were borne to the grave, the memory of his faults was buried with him. "Poor fellow!" was the general ejaculation in State Street, at once his requiescat and epitaph.
Whenever the earth is thrown over the body of a man, no matter how abject or sinful he may have been, the involuntary exclamation of every one is "requiescat in pace." When, it comes to be one of our own personal friends, a parent, sister, or child, to this feeling of sacredness is added that of affection, and no wrong is like that of invading the tomb of those we love.
That will be the work of a good hour." The grave voice resumed "Requiescat in pace." And the child's voice said: "Amen." Jean Valjean strained his ears, and heard something like retreating footsteps. "There, they are going now," thought he. "I am alone." All at once, he heard over his head a sound which seemed to him to be a clap of thunder. It was a shovelful of earth falling on the coffin.
