To begin with the smell. There were fifteen hearses, with palls varying in expensiveness; there were actually two catafalques. One was a general's and one some lady's. There were many mourners, a great deal of feigned mourning and a great deal of open gaiety. The clergy have nothing to complain of; it brings them a good income. But the smell, the smell. I should not like to be one of the clergy here.

Um pequeno conto que de certa forma instiga a curiosidade acerca da consciência pós morte de forma divertida, misturando o mórbido com o cômico. Não só isso, mas também representou uma inteligente réplica às críticas que recebeu na época.

“In my opinion, the one who’s smarter than all the rest is the one who calls himself a fool at least once a month— an unheard of talent nowadays!”
