Oliver had been sojourning at the undertaker's some three weeks or a month.
The next day it sends a hearse and undertaker's men to get the coffin and carry it to the cemetery.
When he gets really worked up, I'll say it was that Qiao Erh who died recently- the vice-manager of the undertaker's shop just east of our place.
The undertaker's man and the grave-digger had probably allowed the coffin to lose its balance, and had lowered the head before the foot.
