Rudyard Fun runs a funeral home in the village of Piffling Vale. It used to be the only one. It isn't anymore. The Battle of the Giants now draws to a close. Could Rudyard actually win it? And will the public believe in a haunted kettle? Or will Antigone be exposed as a fraud? There's everything to play for, as Eric would say. But there's even more to lose. Day 4
What happens on the final day of Rudyard and Eric’s funeral home rivalry?
The third day had stumbled to a close. Rudyard slept soundly at the vicarage, tucked up on the sofa, while Reverend Wavering sat dozing up at the other end, his open John Grisham still resting in his lap. John's also a mouse, by the way. Back home at fun funerals, Antigone was wracked with even more anxiety than usual. She couldn't rest, no matter how many coffins she climbed into. As for Eric, he prowled up and down, muttering darkly, while making an unflattering effigy of Rudyard out of straw.
And
where was I, you ask? I was ensconced in the kettle, nine thimbles down. Even formaldehyde is pleasant when you're plastered. The sun rose upon the fourth and final day of this confounding conflict.
Does Antigone reveal that the haunted kettle is a hoax?
As crowds of the curious flocked to the church, drawn by the promise of a haunted kettle, Eric joined Antigone outside. But if Antigone held any hope for words of advice or consolation, she was disappointed. Eric was too fixated on his own concerns to spare a thought for hers. Chapman?
Hmm? If you knew a thing, a thing that wasn't real, but other people thought it was real... Would it be a bad thing to let them go on thinking it was real if you knew how to convince them it wasn't real but you didn't?
I could put Rudyard in a bin.
Sorry.
Yes. I could pick him up and I could put him in a bin. And then I'd put the lid on it and I'd kick it down a hill. He can't block my funeral when he's stuck in a bin.
You didn't sleep last night, did
you? No. I've got a better idea. I could interfere with the flowers in his wreaths so that they say rude words. Or I could take a minor role in a play he's starring in and then I'd really annoy him for some reason. Chapman. Or lure him up a waterfall and expose his secret past.
Roger doesn't have a secret past.
What? That's ridiculous, Antigone. Everyone has a secret past. It's just a question of finding it. I bet Marjorie
knows. Chapman, can you please stop foreshadowing and listen to me? You've lost the bet. You have to accept
it. Nonsense. We have suffered a setback, Antigone. Nothing more. I refuse to concede to that jack-of-all-trades. He thinks he can do everything, does he? Well, anything he can do, I can do better.
Come and snap out of it. You're not Rudyard, and you never will be.
We'll see about that. Hand me that mandolin.
I haven't got a mandolin. I've got a kettle. I've got a kettle with a mouse in it. Do you understand a mouse? But they're all going to think it's a ghost unless I have a Christ of conscience and tell them, which I won't. What I'm trying to say is not everything revolves around you.
It's not me. It's the funeral. No matter what he does, we must get the body in the coffin in the ground on time. Stop
the funeral.
Now look here.
Antigone, what have I become?
You'll be fine after a good night's rest, Chapman. Your problems will just melt away, as usual.
How does Eric concede the bet and let Rudyard claim victory?
Ah, there you are. Bit early for the funeral, aren't
you? Why, are you here to arrest us?
No, I'm writing an article. Sid Marlow's taken a few days off, so I'm the editor of Piffling Matters while he's gone. OK, then. How
about a front-page story? That would certainly make my job a lot easier. Then listen to this. Eric Chapman admits defeat. Really? I give up. I concede. I surrender. I don't care anymore. You win, Rudyard. There's no way I can do the funeral this afternoon. But if you can, then go ahead.
