The store-room was fairly large and contained little.

Trenholme placed the coffin reverently by itself in an empty corner.

He brought a pot of black paint and a brush, and printed on it the necessary address.

Then he thought a moment, and added in another place the inscription--"Box containing coffin--to be handled with care." It is to be remarked how dependent we are for the simplest actions on the teaching we have had.

Never having received the smallest instruction as to how to deal with such a charge, it cost him effort of thought and some courage to put on this inscription.
