Her eyes, useless at first on coming out of the bright sunlight, and not able to distinguish anything, began to take in the shape of the place and to see the rows of great coffins that stood out along the far wall.

She also saw with surprise that the newest coffin, on which for several reasons her eyes rested, was no longer dusty but was scrupulously clean.

Following with her eyes as well as she could see into the further corners she saw that there the same reform had been effected.

Even the walls and ceiling had been swept of the hanging cobwebs, and the floor was clean with the cleanliness of ablution.

Still holding Harold's arm, she moved over towards her mother's coffin and knelt before it.
