from chapter 14 I started to turn away from the window when i saw a wagon pull up between the two buildings across the way from me.In the shadows, i couldn't see who or how many people there were. i watched silently as a door opened on the side of the left building. light shined through the door into the little alley on the wagon. i watched three men go into the building they left the door standing open. How stupid of them i thought. Shortly, two of the men backed out through the door into the alley. i could see that they were struggling with a box that must have been heavy. As they backed out further, it was easy to see that the box was long and bulky. Two other men came through the door carrying the other end. A coffin! That's Mr. Northfield's coffin, i thought to myself. Somebody's stealing his body!
