- The coffin was sealed when I left Philadelphia. I didn't want to see her again myself.

- But there was a funeral. People came, there were flowers, an undertaker...

- Yes.

- Well, if they could believe that. If there was one witness... Perhaps my own sister Lizzie...

- Funeral? Of course there was a funeral. The finest funeral in town. A snow-white hearse and twenty-five coaches. Everybody sent flowers.

Why, there's no one here. No one at the keyboard. The organ's playing itself. -That's impossible. The motor's not going.
And by some malicious stroke of fate, there was an epidemic of scarlet fever raging out there. The authorities wouldn't lift the quarantine and let them out for her funeral.
