Description
Excerpt: I. THE THREE MOTHERS. The hearse and the mourning?coach went out at a demure foot?pace; they came back at a trot that was almost gay. It did not matter. The hearse was now only a smart empty showcase, bright with plate?glass and silvered fittings; and in the mourning?coach the mother sat alone. This was the end. When she should be once more in the empty house she might cry, scream, laugh, go mad. Nothing would make any difference. There was no one to be awakened. There was no white presence that must be lapped in silence and horrible flowers. The cook and the maids had brought the flowers. Her gift to the dead had been the silence.
