Source-grounded excerpt

alisation. " G-ood-bye." Then quietly the slum* ber came, and the long sleep settled down that was wakeless for ever. There was a ragged grave-yard where the mounds were hidden in grass, and dead men's names and ages were carved on wood, where head-boards stood awry, and epitaphs were spelt out with stammering impotent letters — a soli- tary spot that had a haunted, shadowed look upon it always. The fence was crooked and twisted like an ugly creeping thing, and there, one day, some half-dozen people came to stand above a new grave. Harley read the service for the dead, and Frances Flaxer and her mother watched the last earth.

The excerpt is presented as public-source context. Terminology belongs to the cited source and may be historical, contested, culturally specific, or outdated.
