Silently the good wife took the infant into the house and disrobed it.
Sorrowfully, she laid it alongside its little brothers and sister.
Long and bitterly she wept over the quartet.
And then with one tender look at her lord and master, smoking in solemn silence by the fire, and resembling them with all his might.
She gathered her shawl about her bode shoulders and went away into the night.

Some fiction.
The discomfited demon.
I never clearly knew why I visited the old cemetery that night.
Perhaps it was to see how the work of removing the bodies was getting on.
for they were all being taken up and carted away to a more comfortable place, where land was less valuable.
It was well enough, nobody had buried himself there for years, and the skeletons that were now exposed were old, moldy affairs, for which it was difficult to feel any respect.
However, I put a few bones in my pocket as souvenirs.
