"He was an officer on secret service," said I slowly. "An enemy, but a gallant and generous enemy. In love and in war he played the game, Requiescat in pace." "Amen," said Cary. Dawson rose and gripped our hands. "I have the locket and the ring, and I will write as he wished. It is the least that I can do." They buried Trehayne with naval honours as an enemy officer who had died among us.
Requiescat in pace, so far as the mortal remains of their dead are concerned, has no meaning to them, for they do not let them rest quietly in their graves, as we do. After the bodies of the deceased have gone to decay, the skulls and bones are removed from the coffins, and placed in the bone-house. The names, or the initials, of the departed are painted upon the forehead of the skull."
He fancied her in tears and darkness, kneeling at the foot of her cross, under which her cares were buried. To this cross she brought them; for this heavenly bridegroom she exchanged the husband who had wooed her, the traitor who had left her. A thousand such hillocks lay round about, the gentle daisies springing out of the grass over them, and each bearing its cross and requiescat.
"Seems only yesterday as we was a diggin' o' that there grave, don't it, mum?" he remarked pleasantly, including Hadria in the credit of the affair, with native generosity. "It does indeed, Dodge. I see you have been tidying it up and clearing away the moss from the name. I can read it now. Ellen Jervis. Requiescat in pace." "We was a wonderin' wot that meant, me and my missus." Hadria explained.

BEVERLY FARM, Mass., August, 1891.
Just at that moment the whole choir burst forth with a 'Requiescat in pace, that shook the vaults of the cathedral. Don Manuel sank senseless on the pavement. He was found there early the next morning by the sacristan, and conveyed to his home. When sufficiently recovered, he sent for a friar and made a full confession of all that had happened.
Obiit quarta et decima. Feb. ann. Dom. MCCVIII. Requiescat in pace." Monk did not lose a single word.
I forced the last stone into its position; I plastered it up. Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat! In the pure arrogance of the reason, we have all overlooked it.
"Do you know that this rabid Bergenheim, with his round face and good- natured smile, killed three or four men while he was in the service, on account of a game of billiards or some such trivial matter?" "Requiescat in pace." "Take care that he does not cause the 'De Profundis' to be sung for you. He was called the best swords man at Saint-Cyr: he has the devil of a lunge.
No sir smile neighbour shall covet his ox or his wife or his manservant or his maidservant or his jackass. Or his jennyass, Buck Mulligan antiphoned. Gentle Will is being roughly handled, gentle Mr Best said gently. Which will? gagged sweetly Buck Mulligan. We are getting mixed. The will to live, John Eglinton philosophised, for poor Ann, Will's widow, is the will to die. Requiescat!
