Jefferson Hall: Thorne Geary
Quotes
-
Robert Thoyt : Mrs. Geary, I do not wish to be indelicate, but did you pay the grave-diggers the extra shilling?
Zilpha Geary : What extra shilling?
Robert Thoyt : To bury your father deeper in the ground... Resurrectionists pay extra to be buried two feet deeper than the rest. That way, the grave-robbers can't dig down to their meat before the sun comes up.
Thorne Geary : My wife has no business with the grave-diggers... Her father will rest at the regular depth.
