CHAPTER 43 The Art of Inhumation
3/10

Is there much profit on a coffin ?' 'Go-way! How you talk!' Then, with a confidential wink, a dropping of the voice, and an impressive laying of his hand on my arm; 'Look here; there's one thing in this world which isn't ever cheap.

That's a coffin.
There's one thing in this world which a person don't ever try to jew you down on.

That's a coffin.

There's one thing in this world which a person don't say--"I'll look around a little, and if I find I can't do better I'll come back and take it." That's a coffin.

There's one thing in this world which a person won't take in pine if he can go walnut; and won't take in walnut if he can go mahogany; and won't take in mahogany if he can go an iron casket with silver door-plate and bronze handles.
That's a coffin.
