Such was the scene, and such the time, when a figure, unlike any thathave been described, was observed at a distance down the street.
"I espy a strange sail, yonder, " remarked a Liverpool captain; "thatwoman in the long, white garment!" The sailor seemed much struck by the object, as were several others, who, at the same moment, caught a glimpse of the figure that hadattracted his notice. Almost immediately, the various topics ofconversation gave place to speculations, in an undertone, on this...unwonted occurrence.
"Can there be a funeral, so late this afternoon?" inquired some.
They looked for the signs of death at every door, --the sexton, thehearse, the assemblage of black-clad relatives, --all that makes up thewoeful pomp of funerals. They raised their eyes, also, to the sun-giltspire of the church, and wondered that no clang proceeded from itsbell, which had always tolled till now, when this figure appeared inthe light of day. But none had heard that a corpse was to be borne toits home that afternoon, nor was there any token of a funeral, exceptthe apparition of the "Old Maid in the Winding-Sheet.
