WASN'T
{OOV}
UNDERTAKER

HE
WAS
A
JOINER
sp
AND
ON
THE

THE
JOINERS
sp
HAD
TO
DO
UNDERTAKING
sp
MHM
sp
AND
ANY
JOIN
WELL
NOT

BUT
sp
MOST
OF
THE
sp
JOINERS
sp
DID
THE
UNDERTAKING
sp
MORE
OR
LESS
IN
THE
AREA
THEY
WERE
IN
sp
SO
WOULD
sp
LIKE
THE
THREE
DIFFERENT
sp
SORT
OF

PARISHES
EACH
HAVE
A
JOINER
sp
CROSS

WHAT
WE
CALLED
THE
SOUTH
sp
END
sp
AHA
{OOV}
sp
AND
sp
HE
WAS
GETTING
TO
BE
AN
OLD
MAN
AND
HE
HAD
ACTUALLY
sp
STOPPED
sp
AND
sp
THEN
sp
FATHER
WOULD
TAKE
sp
ER
sp
WOULD
BE
ASKED
TO
DO
THE
UNDERTAKING
IN
THAT
sp
PART
sp
MHM
AND
ER
THERE
sp
WAS
ANOTHER
sp
M
sp
MAN
A
MR
sp
PEACE
sp
WHO
HAD
BEEN
MHM
AN
UNDERTAKER
AND
HE
sp
LIVED
sp
NEAR
THE
CENTRE
OF
THE
ISLAND
sp
MHM
sp
NEAR
THE

IN

MHM
sp
MHM
sp
AND
HE
DID
BUT
THEN
HE
WAS
A

OLDER
AND
HE
EVENTUALLY
sp
STOPPED
sp
AND
ER
THERE
sp
WOULD
HAVE
sp
BEEN
ONE
AT
WOODHOUSE
IN
sp
BURNESS
sp
BUT
EVENTUALLY
sp
MHM
IT
IT
CAME
TO
BE
THAT

THE
OLDER

USUALLY
THAT
WERE
ASKED

HE
WAS
THE
ONLY
sp
ONE
WHO
DID

I
sp
SEE
SO
THE
OLDER
CHAPS
WOULD
JUST
sp
GRADUALLY
sp
{OOV}

sp
WHILE
BEFORE

sp
WENT

GOT
HIMSELF
AN
APPRENTICESHIP
sp
AND
THEN
HIS
PARENTS
SAW
THAT
sp
HE
sp
MHM
sp
WAS
REALLY
SERIOUS
ABOUT
BEING
A
sp
JOINER
sp
SO
HE
WENT
sp
AND
HE
SERVED
HIS
sp
TIME
sp
WITH
A
MR
{OOV}
sp
AT
WOODHOUSE
MHM
sp
{OOV}

JUST
THE

THEY
HAD
TO
GO
DOWN
IN
sp
A
IN
A
sp
PIT
sp
I
DON'T
REALLY

IT
BUT
sp
THE
sp
THE

DID
THIS
sp
RIPPING
OF
THE
sp
WOOD
WITH
sp
GOOD
sp
GRIEF
sp
BUT
THAT
WAS
BUT
A
AGAIN
HE
SERVED
HIS
APPRENTICESHIP
AS
A
JOINER
sp
MHM
sp
NOT
AS
AN
UNDERTAKER
sp
HE'D
HAVE
BEEN
UNDERTAKING
WITH
THIS
sp
MAN
sp
I
sp
SEE
{OOV}
BUT
IT
WAS
ALL
PART
OF
THE

HE
HE
HAD
TO
TAKE

COULD
EASILY
AFFORD
IT
BECAUSE
HE
WAS
PAID
ABOUT
FIVE
SHILLINGS
IN
THE
sp
YEAR
sp
AND
HE
GOT
THE
P
HE
I
THINK
HE
SAID
HIS
FIRST
YEARS
PAY
WAS
FIVE
SHILLINGS
sp
MHM
AND
THEY
GOT
A
HARVEST
sp
SO
THEY
WERE
ALLOWED
TO
GO
THEY
WERE
ALLOWED
TO
GO

AT
A

sp
MHM
sp
TO

BUT
THEN
FATHER

DO
THAT
BECAUSE
HE
sp
WAS
STAYING
AT

AND
HE
WAS
EXPECTED

sp
WAS

RIGHT
{OOV}

EITHER

sp
MHM
sp
AND
THEN
HOW
LONG
WOULD

THREE
YEARS

THEN
THEY
HAD
TO
BE
A

FOR
A
CERTAIN
LENGTH
OF
sp
TIME
BEFORE
THEY
WOULD
BE
A
sp
MASTER
sp
JOINER
MHM
sp
MHM
sp
SO
HE
WOULD
DID
sp
HE
I'M
NOT
CERTAIN
ABOUT
sp
THAT
AHA
sp
DID
HE
HAVE
sp
TO
sp
KIND
OF
SORT
OF
DID
HE
sp
LOOK
ON
THAT
AS
A
PROFESSION
TO
DO
BESIDE
THE
FARMING
sp
OR
DID
HE
OH
HE
JUST
WASN'T
INTERESTED
IN

sp
THEN
sp
HE
WOULD
SERVE
WHEN
WHEN
sp
WHEN
THE
OTHER
WAS
THE
sp
MR
{OOV}
sp
HE
TRAINED
UNDER
WAS
HE
ONE
OF
THE
sp
TWO
OLDER
JOINERS
sp
ON
THE
ISLAND
HE
WOULD
HAVE
BEEN
ONE
OF
THE
OLDER
JOINERS
MHM
sp
THERE
MIGHT
HAVE
BEEN
THREE
OF
I
DON'T
KNOW
HOW
MANY
THERE
WERE
BUT
sp
HE
WAS
ONE
OF
sp
THE
OLDER
JOINERS
sp
MHM
sp
SO
sp
WOULD
YOU
BE
BROUGHT
UP
ON
sp
SANDAY
AS
WELL
YES
I
WAS
sp
BROUGHT
UP
ON
sp
SANDAY
sp
AHA
sp
IN
sp
CROSS
sp
IN
CROSS
sp
IN
sp
CROSS
sp
{OOV}
sp
AND
YES
sp
AND
HOW
LONG
WOULD
sp
DID
HE
SERVE
sp
HIS
WHOLE
sp
ER
sp
TIME
ON
sp
THE
ISLAND
WORKED
ALL
HIS
TIME
ON
THE

WORKED
ALL
HIS
TIME
ON
THE
ISLAND
APART

FROM
THE
TIME
HE
WAS
IN
THE
ARMY
HE
sp
WAS
IN
THE
TERRITORIALS
SO
HE
WAS
CALLED
UP

THE
FRIDAY
BEFORE

UNTIL
sp
MHM
sp
HE
WAS

THE
sp
ER
THE
OTHER

ON
THE

sp
THEY
ACTED
AS
UNDERTAKERS
AS
sp
WELL
WE
DISCUSSED
sp
THAT
sp
IT
WAS
JUST
sp
SEEN
AS
A
NORMAL
PART
OF

THEN

TO
LAY

AS
WELL

I
sp
BECAUSE

WELL
AND
sp
MHM
sp
THEN
sp
ER
sp
THEY'D
sp
COME
BACK
sp
UP

SO

WOULD
MAYBE
GET

{OOV}
CALL
ON

SORT
OF
sp
FORMAL
WOULD
THE
P
OTHER

OF
BLACK
CLOTHES
OR

WOULD
IMAGINE
THEY

HAVE
WORN
THEIR

ANYHOW
THAT
WOULD
BE
THE
RESPECTFUL
THING
TO

sp
YEAH

BE
THAT
WELL
sp
YES
AHA

sp
THEY
WERE
THEY
WERE
CALLING
sp
FOR
sp
AND
sp
HOW
MUCH
sp
TIME
sp
DID
IT
TAKE
sp
TO
MAKE
THE
sp
COFFIN
sp
WELL
I
sp
WAS
JUST
TALKING
THAT
OVER
sp
WITH
ER
sp
HIS
APPRENTICE
AND
HE
SAID
MHM
IT
sp
TOOK
THEM
sp
A
sp
LONG
TIME
TO
BEGIN
WITH
sp
WHEN
HE
STARTED
OH
REALLY
sp
AHA
sp
IT
sp
TOOK
THEM
sp
I
CAN'T
REMEMBER
HOW
MANY
HOURS
BUT
IT
TOOK
THEM
A
LONG
TIME
sp
BUT
THEN
BY
THE
TIME
sp
THEY
WERE
sp
FIN
sp
HE
RETIRED
AND
sp
THEY
WERE
FINISHING
THEY
WERE
TA
THEY
WERE
TAKING
ABOUT
sp
LESS
THAN
HALF
THE
TIME
sp
BECAUSE
sp
THEY
sp
HAD
STAPLERS
sp
AND
sp
BEFORE
ALL
THE
OH
I
sp
SEE
sp
TACKED
sp
EVERYTHING
WAS
TACKED
AHA
sp
AND
IT
sp
TOOK
A
LOT
LONGER
sp
AHA
sp
SO
JUST
THE
NEW
sp
THE
SORT
OF
sp
TECHNOLOGY
COMING
IN
AYE
IT
WOULD
PROBABLY
HELP
A
BIT
AND
THE
TWO
OF
THEM
WORKING
TOGETHER
OVER
A
LONG
TIME
THEY
WOULD
sp
WORK
AYE
TOGETHER
sp
MORE
sp
QUICKLY
sp
MHM
sp
SO
WHEN
sp
HE
HEARD
sp
DID
HE
JUST
START
IMMEDIATELY
THEN
OH
YES
EVERYTHING
AHA
THE
WHOLE
HOUSEHOLD
sp
JUST
sp
REALLY
MHM
THE
WHOLE
HOUSEHOLD
WAS
NEEDED
BECAUSE
sp
THE
sp
WELL
HE
HAD
A
STORE
OF
BIG
BOARDS
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
FOR
THE
SIDES
HAD
TO
BE
SHAPED
sp
MHM
sp
WELL
THESE
HAD
TO
BE
sp
BENT
sp
YOU
SEE
AND
THEY
sp
THEY
SAW
A
WEE
BIT
THROUGH
THEM
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
BUT
THEY
ALSO
HAD
sp
TO
sp
BEND
THEN
sp
YES
TO
MAKE
sp
THEM
AND
THEY
USED
HOT
WATER
sp
THEY
HAD
ER
sp
BOILING
WATER
MHM
sp
MHM
AND
THE
ONLY
WAY
OF
BOILING
THE
WATER
sp
AT
THAT
TIME
WAS
ON
THE
sp
{OOV}
sp
STOVE
IN
THE
HOUSE
sp
SO
EVERYTHING
THAT
WOULD
HOLD
WATER
WAS
PUT
ON
THE
sp
STOVE
sp
AND
ER
sp
HE
DID
sp
{OOV}
AND
THEN
IT
sp
THEY
TOOK
IT
OUT
sp
TO
THE
sp
MHM
sp
WORKSHOP
sp
AND
THEY
WOULD
COVER
THIS
BOARD
WITH
sp
WOODCUTTINGS
LIKE
S
WHAT
WE
CALL
SPILLS
sp
MHM
MHM
AND
THEY
sp
POURED
THE
WATER
AND
THAT
HELD
THE
sp
HEAT
sp
IN
AND
sp
THEN
BENT
sp
TO
THE
SHAPE
sp
FOR
THE
SIDES
sp
OH

BO
THE
BOTTOM

THEN
sp
THE
sp
SIDES
WERE
sp
MOULDED
WITH
THE
sp
HOT
WATER

FIT
sp
MOULDED
MHM
sp
SO
YOU
DIDN'T
NEED

CUT
sp
THE
SIDES
AT
ALL
sp
IT
WAS
ENOUGH
sp
JUST
THE
HOT
WATER

THE
SPILLS
{OOV}
THEY
I
THINK

MADE
SMALL
SLITS
IN
IT

I
CAN'T
REMEMBER
BECAUSE
WE
WEREN'T
IN
THE

REALLY
PAYING

AWAY
sp
BE
PRACTICALLY
THE
FIRST
PERSON
TO
KNOW
THEN

WOULDN'T
HE
MHM
FIRST
AHA

I
WOULD
IMAGINE
SO
AFTER

sp
IN
THE
BEGINNING
DO
YOU
THINK
YOU
WERE
SPEAKING
ABOUT
A
WHOLE
AFTERNOON
sp
AND
AN
EVENING
TO
MAKE
THE
COFFIN
sp
OR
ALL
DAY
{OOV}
OH
MUCH
LONGER
sp
MUCH
sp
LONGER
BETWEEN
sp
BECAUSE
BEFORE
THEY
GOT
sp
{OOV}
sp
HE
WENT
AWAY
AND
MEASURED
UP
THE
BODY
AND
HE
ALSO
HAD
sp
SOMETIME
sp
THEN
YOU
SEE
HE
WOULD
HAVE
sp
TO
GO
AND
sp
{OOV}
PUT
THE
BODY
IN
THE
COFFIN
sp
AND
BEFORE
THE
FUNERAL
sp
THE
sp
THEY
WOULD
HE
sp
WOULD
PROBABLY
HAVE
TO
TAKE
A
WINDOW
OUT
OF
THE
HOUSE
sp
OH
sp
{OOV}
sp
BECAUSE
THE
sp
COFFIN
HAD
TO
COME
OUT
OF
THE
sp
{OOV}
sp
STAYED
IN
THE
HOUSE
sp
THE
B

THE
sp
AHA
sp
CORPSE
sp
AND
sp
YEAH
AHA

I
MEAN
YOU
LIKE
THE
ORDINARY
HOUSES
ARE
THERE'S
NO
sp
ROOM
AND
YOU
COULD
NOT
BEND
THE
COFFIN
WITH
A
PERSON
IN
IT
SO
THEY
WOULD
HAVE
TO
TAKE
THE
WINDOW
sp
OR
THE
BEDROOM
OR
WHEREVER
THE
sp
CORPSE
sp
WAS
sp
MHM
sp
THEY
TOOK
IT
OUT
sp
AND
SORT
OF
sp
TEMPORARILY
FIXED
IT
IN
SO
THAT
THEY
COULD
GET
THIS
OUT
AT
THE
FUNERAL
AND
THEN
HE
HAD
TO
GO
BACK
LATER
AND
sp
FIX
THE
WINDOW
IN
sp
GOOD
sp
GRIEF
sp
WELL
THAT
WAS
IN
A
C
sp
CERTAIN
HOUSES

AND
IF
THEY
DIDN'T
sp
JUST

TO
PUT
THE
COFFIN
INTO
THE
HOUSE

THE
WOULDN'T
HAVE

PUT
THE
COFFIN
IN
{OOV}
I
WOULDN'T
OH
NO
sp
THEY
WOULD
GET

I
WOULD
IMAGINE

SO
sp
ERM
AS

WELL

DID
YOU
HAVE
ANY

GET
THE
JOB
OF
SEWING
UP
sp
THE
WEE
sp
CUSHIONS
sp
MHM
sp
INSIDE
THE
COFFIN
sp
THAT
sp
WENT
UNDER
THE
HEAD
AND
THE
ARMS
AND
THE
FEET
sp
AND
IT
WAS
MADE
OF
A
SORT
OF
sp
VERY
sp
I
WOULD
THINK
CHEAP

STARCHED

COTTON

BE

AND
sp
AHA
sp
VERY
DECORATIVE
THERE
WAS
sp
SORT
OF
sp
{OOV}
DECORATIONS
THAT
WENT
IN

OH
AS

ER
WE
THEY
USED
TO
sp
FILL
THERE
THEY
sp
WERE
JUST
FILLED
WITH
WOODCUTTINGS
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
AND
sp
THEY
WOULD
BE
SENT
IN
AND
WE
WOULD
sp
SOMETIMES
SEW
UP
THE
sp
THE
CUSHIONS
OH
sp
GOOD
sp
HEAVENS
sp
AND
STUFF

AND
WAS
IT
SEWN
ON
DECORATION
OR
WAS
IT
sp
PRINTED
sp
THE
{OOV}
sp
DECORATION
sp
I
WOULD
IMAGINE
THE
CUSHIONS
MAYBE
WERE
sp
MORE
sp
PLAIN
sp
MHM
sp
BUT
THEY
HAD
sp
SORT
OF
sp
DECORATION
THAT
sp
WAS
sp
TACKED
sp
ON
OR
sp
{OOV}
sp
ON
THE
INSIDE
OF
THE
COFFIN

{OOV}
OH
I
SEE

SO
WAS
THE
INSIDE
OF
THE
COFFIN
LINED
WITH
CLOTH

AS
WELL

WAS
LINED
sp
MHM
sp
AND
THEN
sp
COVERS
sp
AND
sp
TRIMMINGS
ROUND
THE
EDGE
sp
AH

SO
WOULD
IT
{OOV}
AND
THE
OUTSIDE
THEN
WAS
COVERED
WITH
BLACK
AH
sp
{OOV}
sp
A
SORT
OF
sp
WELL
IT
LOOKED
LIKE
sp
BLACK
sp
WOOL
sp
BUT
I
MEAN
IT
OBVIOUSLY
WAS
A
BRUSHED
COTTON
I
WOULD
SAY
MHM
MHM
sp
MHM

AND
ER
sp
THAT
sp
THEN
WOULD
BE

DECORATED
ROUND
THE
EDGES
WITH
A
SORT
OF
HEAVY
sp
LID
KIND
sp
OF
BRAID
sp
MHM
IT
HAD
sp
GOLD
MARKINGS
ON
sp
IT
sp
MHM

MHM
sp
YEAH

sp
THEN
THEY
sp
HAD
THE
HANDLES
AND
THE
TASSELS
AND
THEN
THE
sp
TOP
THERE
WAS
A
sp
TIN
sp
SORT
OF
sp
PLATE
sp
MHM
sp
WITH
A
NAME
sp
ON
sp
AND
THAT
ALSO
HAD
TO
BE
DONE
BY
HAND
sp
FATHER
USED
TO
DO
THAT
sp
HE
WOULD
SIT
sp
IN
THE
EVENING
THEN
AND
HE
HAD
sp
TO
sp
SCRATCH
sp
ON
THIS
B
IT
WAS
sp
A
LIKE
A
TIN
PLATE
WITH
A
BLACK
sp
SORT
OF
AREA
TO
SCRATCH
sp
MM
sp
OUT
sp
THE
sp
ERM
{OOV}
THE
NAME
AND
AGE
AND
sp
WHATEVER
DETAILS
{OOV}
WANTED
ON
THIS
sp
AND
THEN
IT
WAS
PAINTED
WITH
sp
GOLD
sp
PAINT
sp
I
sp
SEE
sp
AND
sp
WOULD
THIS
METAL
PLATE
AND
THE
sp
STRIP
OF
METAL
THAT
WENT
ROUND
THE
TOP
WOULD
THAT
BE
SORT
OF
LIKE
READY
MADE
sp
{OOV}
sp
I
YES
sp
AHA
YES
{OOV}
CAME
FROM
SOME
sp
AHA
sp
READY
MADE
AND
ANOTHER
THING
THAT
SOMETIMES
HAD
TO
BE
DONE
WAS
WRITING
OUT
OFF
sp
ER
THE
sp
THEY
DIDN'T
PUT
sp
ER
sp
NOTICES
IN
SHOP
WINDOWS
OR
ANYTHING
sp
THEY
ALWAYS
BID
FOR
FUNERALS
AND
I
CAN
REMEMBER
sp
FOLK
ON
sp
IN
{OOV}
BEING
HORRIFIED
AT
THE
IDEA
THAT
FOLK
WOULD
sp
PUT
sp
A
NOTICE
IN
A
WINDOW
sp
IN
WRITING
sp
TELLING
FOLK
ABOUT
THE
FUNERAL
sp
MHM
sp
THEY
ALWAYS
HAD
BIDDING
FOR
sp
THE
FUNERAL
AND
SOMETIMES
THE
FAMILY
WOULD
WRITE
OUT
sp
THE
sp
THE
BIDS
sp
OH
I
sp
SEE
{OOV}
sp
AND
IT
WAS
ALL
IT
sp
THEY
WERE
sp
THEY
WERE
SPECIAL
sp
FORMS
FOR
IT
sp
AH
sp
MHM
sp
AND
YOU
WOULD
sp
THE
NAME
HAD
TO
BE
FILLED
IN

THE
TIME

DETAILS
sp
MHM

AND
THEN
THE
sp
WEE
LETTER
WENT
IN
A
sp
ENVELOPE
{OOV}
MHM
sp
MHM
AND
sp
IT
WOULD
BE
sp
RELATIVES
THAT
WOULD
sp
DO
THE
BIDDING
sp
IN
A
CERTAIN
DISTRICT
sp
MHM
sp
DEPENDING
ON
WHERE
THE
PERSON
WAS
KNOWN
sp
I
MEAN
IF
THEY
WERE
KNOWN
sp
WIDELY
THROUGH
THE
ISLAND
THEY
MIGHT
sp
HAVE
sp
BIDS
GOING
sp
FURTHER
BUT
IT
MIGHT
JUST
BE
YOUR
OWN
DISTRICT
sp
MHM
sp
BUT
SOMETIMES
THAT
HAD
TO
BE
WRITTEN
OUT
AS
WELL
AT
THE
sp
HOUSE
sp
MHM
sp
AND
sp
SOMETIMES
IT'S
JUST
sp
THE
PERSON
OR
sp
THE
FAMILY
WOULD
COME
AND
THEY
WOULD
sp
WANT
sp
I
THINK
sp
THEY
USED
TO
BY
THESE
FROM
THE
SHOP
sp
I
sp
SEE
THE
FOR
sp
THE
sp
BIDS
MHM
SO
DID
THEY
sp
THEY
GIVE
sp
THEM

TO
THE
FOLK
{OOV}
sp
THEY
WENT
AROUND
sp
AND
OH
WELL

THEY
THEY
COULDN'T
POST

BECAUSE
THERE
WAS
NO
sp
POST

AT
sp
THE
TIME
sp
AND
{OOV}
POST
ON
A
sp
WEDNESDAY
FRIDAY
AND
SATURDAY
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
SO
THEY
sp
THEY
DIDN'T
POST
THEM
THEY
sp
PEOPLE
DID
THE
BIDDING
THEY
JUST
WENT
ROUND
LIKE
A
POSTMAN
AND
MM
sp
HANDED
sp
THEM
{OOV}
AND
HANDED
THEM
sp
HANDED
THEM
TO
THE
PEOPLE
sp
HANDED
THEM
sp
TO
sp
THE
{OOV}
AHA
MHM
AND
THEY
WOULD
sp
HAVE
A
sp
{OOV}
THEY
WERE
ALL
DRESSED
IN
THE
NAVY
BLUE
SUITS
AND
THEIR
WHITE
AND
THEIR
BLACK
sp
CAPS
AS
WELL
sp
MHM
sp
YEAH
sp
AND
sp
WOULD
WOMEN
EVER
BE
BIDDERS
sp
NO
sp
WOMEN
DIDN'T
GO
TO
FUNERALS
sp
AHA
sp
{OOV}
sp
IN
sp
SANDAY
sp
MHM
sp
COS
I'VE
ASKED
A
FEW
FOLK
AHA
YOU
KNOW
AND
sp
THEY'VE
ALL
SAID
WOMEN
HAD
sp
NO
PART
IN
THAT
sp
S
ER
AT
ALL
sp
APART
FROM
sp
WOMEN
APPARENTLY
ATTENDED
FUNERALS
IN
{OOV}
BUT
sp
I
sp
CAN'T
sp
FIND
OUT
sp
WHY
{LG}
sp
WOMEN
ATTENDED
FUNERALS
IN
sp
I
S
DID
THEY
NOT
DO
IT
IN
EVAY
sp
I
DON'T
KNOW
sp
I
sp
DON'T
KNOW
sp
ABOUT
THAT
EITHER
sp
I
DON'T
KNOW
EITHER
sp
BUT
ER
{OOV}
I
CAN
REMEMBER
BEING
IN
EVAY
sp
AND
sp
A
sp
FUNERAL
sp
THERE
sp
AND
sp
TO
ME
IT
WAS
VERY
STRANGE
BECAUSE
THEY
CARRIED
THE
COFFIN
sp
FROM
THE
KIRK
sp
RIGHT
DOWN
TO
THE
KIRKYARD
AT
THE
sp
PIER
sp
MHM
sp
WELL
YOU
SEE
IN
SANDAY
THEY
DIDN'T
DO
THAT
sp
THEY
sp
TOOK
IT
sp
FIRST
OF
ALL
IT
WOULD
BE
IN
A
sp
CART
sp
DRAWN
BY
A
HORSE
sp
A
HORSE
sp
DRAWN
CART
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
AND
THEN
sp
IN
sp
ER
IN
A
VEHICLE
sp
IT
COULD
EVEN
BE
A
{OOV}
VERY
OFTEN
A
SCHOOL
BUS
sp
OCH
sp
REALLY
YOU
DON'T
THINK
{OOV}
{OOV}
LONG
ENOUGH
sp
MHM
sp
AND
THE
SPRINKLE
WHAT
sp
THEY
CALL
THE
SPRINKLER
sp
WAS
A
SMALLER
sp
CAR
sp
MHM
AND
WITH
THE
BACK
DOOR
OFF
YOU
SEE
THEY
WOULD
GET
THAT
ON
sp
THAT
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
BUT
THEY'RE
QUITE
LONG
DISTANCES
IN
SANDAY
YOU
SEE
sp
YEAH
sp
THAT'S
RIGHT
WHILE
ON
EVAY
IT
WAS
SHORTER
DISTANCES
sp
MHM
AND
THE
FUNERALS
WERE
sp
I
WOULD
SAY
NEARLY
ALWAYS
FROM
THE
HOUSE
sp
YES
sp
NOT
FROM
A
CHURCH
NOT
FROM
THE
CHURCH
sp
MHM
sp
SO
THE
WOMEN
OF
THE
HOUSE
WOULD
BE
sp
INVOLVED
sp
YES
sp
MHM
sp
BUT
ER
sp
THEY
JUST
DIDN'T
GO
sp
TO
sp
FUNERALS
{OOV}
TO
ME
IT
WAS
VERY
STRANGE
sp
MHM
sp
I
REMEMBER
ONE
FUNERAL
WHEN
sp
I
WAS
A
LITTLE
GIRL
AT
THE
SCHOOL
sp
WAS
AN
OLD
MAN
sp
WHO
DIED
sp
BENJI
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION}
HE
WAS
I
THINK
HE
MUST
HAVE
BEEN
THE
BEST
sp
THE
LAST
sp
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION}
sp
IN
ORKNEY
sp
AND
HE
DIED
sp
AT
{OOV}
WE
CALL
IT
sp
IN
SANDAY
sp
AND
IT
WAS
SNOW
sp
MHM
sp
SO
THEY
COULDN'T
GET
sp
ALONG
THE
ROADS
AND
sp
I
sp
THINK
THE
COF
THE
sp
PROBABLY
THE
FUNERAL
WAS
PUT
OFF
AS
LONG
AS
THEY
COULD
PUT
IT
OFF
sp
AND
THEN
THEY
CARRIED
THE
REMAINS
sp
ACROSS
THE
FIELDS
sp
TO
THE
LADY
KIRKYARD
AND
THAT
WAS
PAST
THE
SCHOOL
sp
AND
I
CAN
REMEMBER
US
WATCHING
THIS
sp
PROCESSION
GOING
ACROSS
THE
FIELDS
sp
BUT
THAT
WAS
THE
ONLY
S
sp
AND
THEN
OF
sp
COURSE
IN
SANDAY
IN
THE
sp
WHAT
WE
CALL
THE
NORTH
END
sp
MHM
OF
THE
ISLAND
MHM
sp
THEY
HAD
THE
HEARSE
sp
THE
HO
sp
THE
OLD
HEARSE
THAT
sp
ER
YES
{OOV}
sp
THERE
sp
WAS
A
sp
PICTURE
{OOV}
sp
AND
THAT
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
sp
SO
YOU
WOULDN'T
sp
YOU
WOULD
JUST
sp
ER
sp
MIND
ER
sp
THE
KIND
OF
LESS
sp
FANCY
IT
WOULDN'T
BE
PARTICULARLY
MADE
LIKE
THE
ONE
IN
THE
NORTH
END
IT
WAS
{OOV}
sp
CART
AND
A
HORSE
NO
IT
WAS
JUST
A
IT
WAS
JUST
A
CART
AND
A
HORSE
sp
YEAH
sp
MHM
sp
AND
WHO
WOULD
DRIVE
IT
sp
YOU
KNOW
WAS
IT
A
SPECIAL
PERSON
THAT
DROVE
IT
NO
IT
WOULD
JUST
sp
BE
THE
sp
PERSON
THAT
OWNED
THE
sp
WHOEVER
OWNED
IT
WHO
OWNED
sp
IT
sp
MHM
{OOV}
sp
WOULD
LEAD
THE
HORSE
I
WOULD
IMAGINE
sp
MHM
sp
ERM
sp
{OOV}
I
MEANT
TO
ASK
YOU
ABOUT
THE
INSIDE
OF
THE
THE
COFFIN
WAS
THAT
sp
PLAIN
WHITE
MATERIAL
OR
WAS
IT
sp
DID
IT
HAVE
THIS
U
sp
PATTERN
ON
IT
AS
sp
WELL
OR
DID
JUST
THE
PILLOWS
HAVE
THE
{OOV}
I
WOULD
THINK
IT
WOULD
JUST
BE
TRIMMINGS
BUT
I
I'M
NOT
RIGHT
SURE
ABOUT
THAT
I
DON'T
sp
REMEMBER
{OOV}
sp
MHM
sp
BUT
THE
{OOV}
ER
THE
sp
INSIDE
sp
WAS
W
sp
THEY
HAD
WAX
AS
WELL
sp
THE
PUT
ON
IT
sp
OH
REALLY
sp
ON
THE
WOOD
AT
ONE
STAGE
AHA
sp
MHM
sp
WHAT
KIND
OF
WOOD
sp
WOULD
THEY
BE
MADE
FROM
DO
YOU
KNOW
sp
WELL
I
WOULD
IMAGINE
IT
WOULD
BE
A
VERY
sp
ROUGH
sp
SORT
OF
WOOD
I
DON'T
KNOW
AHA
COS
sp
IT
WOULD
BE
COVERED
THEY
WERE
sp
NEVER
LEFT
UNCOVERED
{OOV}
I
SEE
OH
NO
NO
sp
THEY
WERE
ALWAYS
COVERED
sp
MHM
AND
A
CHILDREN'S
CO
A
CHILD'S
COFFIN
WOULD
BE
WHITE
sp
AH
sp
YES
MHM
AND
I
DON'T
sp
MHM
S
REMEMBER
SEEING
sp
ONE
OF
THESE
JUST
MHM
sp
WAS
THERE
{OOV}
WHITE
sp
COFFIN
sp
ANY
STATUS
ATTACHED
TO
THE
KIND
OF
WOOD
YOU
HAD
sp
{OOV}
OH
NO
sp
NO
STATUS
AT
ALL
sp
OH
YES
WELL
YOU
SEE
VERY
OCCASIONALLY
sp
I'D
sp
HEARD
OF
SOMEBODY
HAVING
AN
OAK
COKIN
sp
COFFIN
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
sp
BUT
THERE
WAS
NO
OAK
COFFINS
IN
SANDAY
sp
I
SEE
sp
EXCEPT
I
MEAN
IF
ANYBODY
THOUGHT
THEY
sp
WERE
sp
{OOV}
{LG}
{OOV}
OAK
COKIN
TH
sp
COFFIN
THAT
WOULD
HAVE
TO
COME
FROM
sp
SOMEWHERE
ELSE
OH
I
SEE
THAT
WOULDN'T
BE
sp
MADE
THEN
{OOV}
ENOUGH
TO
sp
HAVE
A
sp
OAK
COFFIN
THAT
WOULD
HAVE
sp
COME
sp
FROM
sp
SOMEWHERE
ELSE
{OOV}
sp
EVERYBODY
GOT
THE
SAME
sp
{LG}
sp
{OOV}
IN
SANDAY
sp
YES
OCCASIONALLY
SOMEONE
sp
WHO'D
DIED
ANOTHER
TYPE
OF
UNDERTAKING
WAS
sp
WHERE
SOMEBODY
HAD
DIED
OUT
OF
THE
ISLAND
sp
YEAH
sp
MM
AND
sp
THAT
AGAIN
sp
ALL
THE
ARRANGEMENTS
sp
WOULD
BE
MADE
sp
MHM
BUT
YOU
DIDN'T
HAVE
THE
COFFIN
MAKING
sp
THE
ARRANGEMENTS
WOULD
BE
MADE
AND
sp
ER
sp
OH
sp
WELL
I
NEVER
SAW
AN
sp
OAK
COFFIN
BUT
WE
YOU'D
HEAR
sp
MHM
sp
THAT
sp
AND
IT
PROBABLY
WASN'T
OAK
AT
ALL
IT
WAS
PROBABLY
JUST
YES
STAINED
WOOD
BUT
sp
ER
YEAH
sp
IT
WOULD
LOOK
AHA
sp
THEY
WOULDN'T
BE
COVERED
sp
THEN
NO
sp
IF
sp
THEY
sp
WERE
{OOV}
I
THINK
THAT
WOULD
HAVE
sp
C
sp
BEEN
VERY
sp
{OOV}
OF
sp
COURSE
sp
BUT
NOWADAYS
sp
THE
sp
YEAH
sp
THE
BLACK
sp
ONE
sp
WOULD
BE
MORE
sp
YEAH
sp
SO
WHAT
HAPPENED
IF
SOMEBODY
DIE
OFF
THE
ISLAND
DID
THEY
HAVE
TO
SEND
sp
THEM
AN
UNDERTAKER
ON
THE
sp
MAINLAND
AND
THEN
THE
sp
REMAINS
WOULD
COME
ON
THIS
sp
BOAT
sp
IN
A
COFFIN
ALREADY
IN
A
COFFIN
ALREADY
AND
THE
AHA
sp
FUNERAL
sp
COMPANY
WOULD
sp
MEET
THE
BOAT
sp
REALLY
AND
ER
THEY
sp
WOULD
PROCEED
FROM
THERE
sp
TO
THE
sp
I
sp
SEE
TO
THE
KIRKYARD
sp
SO
WOULD
IT
BE
sp
WHAT
WAS
THE
BOAT
SERVING
sp
SANDAY
sp
THEN
sp
WOULDN'T
BE
sp
{OOV}
sp
IT
WOULD
HAVE
BEEN
THE

{OOV}

ROUGHLY
AT

BUT
I
GUESS
THEY
JUST
GOT
SOME
WAY
{OOV}
JUST
sp
{OOV}
sp
FATHER
sp
WOULD
HAVE
ARRANGED
THAT
LIKELY
AHA
sp
WOULD
sp
WAS
IT
sp
ER
I
IMAGINE
THAT
HE
WOULD
TAKE
IT
sp
WHEN
HE
sp
HAD
A
VEHICLE
LATER
ON
HE
WOULD
YEAH
PROBABLY
sp
TAKE
IT
IN
THE
BACK
OF
THAT
sp
YEAH
sp
BUT
EARLY
ON
YOU
SEE
HE
sp
WHEN
I
BEFORE
THE
WAR
HE'D
sp
NOTHING
{OOV}
sp
WAS
FIRST
OF
ALL
A
PUSH
BIKE
MHM
sp
AND
HE
WENT
TO
HIS
WORK

MHM
AND
SIDECAR
sp
BUT
MM
sp
MAYBE
THE
FOLK
sp
THERE'D
BE
SOME
ARRANGEMENT
MADE
TO
GET
THERE
BUT
WHAT
IT
WAS
I
CAN'T

IF
THERE
WAS
A

KIND
OF
EVENING
DO

YOU

DID
IT
NOT

THE
FOLK
WERE

sp
WAS
NO

ACCEPTED
TIME
{OOV}
I
DON'T

NO

BUT
THAT
WOULD
BE
WHEN

SO
IT
PROBABLY
WOULD
BE
ARRANGED

DO
YOU
THINK

THAT

THE
{OOV}
WOULD
HAPPEN
AS
SOON
AS
THE
COFFIN
GOT
sp
TO
THE
HOUSE
I
WOULD
IMAGINE
I
WOULD
{OOV}
I
WOULD
IMAGINE
SO
OH
I
sp
SEE
sp
THAT'S
ANOTHER
{OOV}
{OOV}
I
DIDN'T
THINK
{OOV}
BUT
I
WOULD
IMAGINE
SO
sp
AND
THEN
YOU
SEE
THE
FAMILY
WOULD
BE
THERE
sp
MHM
sp
SO
THE
COFFIN
WOULD
REALLY
ARRIVE
AND
THEN
YOU
AHA
WOULD
HAVE
THE
DRESSING
I
WOULD
THINK
SO
sp
MHM
BUT
THAT
I
THINK
THEY
WERE
sp
{OOV}
NO

NO
sp
WOMEN
WOULD
sp
REALLY
SEE
THAT
OF
COURSE
AHA
AHA
OH
WELL

THE
{OOV}
sp
YES
AHA

THEY
JUST
WOULDN'T
BE
AT
sp
THE
sp
SORT
OF
BURIAL
SIDE
{OOV}
sp
GRAVEYARD
{OOV}
sp
AHA
AND
ER
OF
sp
COURSE
THE
COFFIN'S
LEFT
OPEN
sp
AND
FOLK
WOULD
sp
GO
AND
sp
MHM
WELL
{OOV}
PEOPLE
WOULD
TO
THE
HOUSE
TO
OFFER
THEIR
sp
MHM
CONDOLENCES
AND
THEY
WOULD
PEOPLE
WERE
ALWAYS
ASKED
IF
THEY
WANTED
TO
SEE
THE
REMAINS
sp
MHM
OR
DO
YOU
JUST
WANT
TO
REMEMBER
HIM
AS
THEY
USED
TO
{OOV}
YEAH
YEAH
sp
AHA
sp
BUT
{OOV}
MHM
YEAH
THAT'S
sp
TRUE
sp
MHM
sp
MM
sp
AND
sp
WOULD
THE
UNDERTAKER
ALSO
sp
BE
RESPONSIBLE
FOR
THE
{OOV}
TO
LIFT
THE
sp
BODY
INTO
THE
sp
COFFIN
{OOV}
NO
THAT
sp
THAT
WOULD
BE
THEY'D
BE
EXPECTED
sp
EVERY
PERSON
WOULD
HAVE
sp
I
IMAGINE
THEY
WOULD
AL
WELL
EVERYBODY
HAD
A
WHITE
SHEET
sp
JUST
FOR
THIS
sp
MHM
YEAH
sp
YEAH
IN
CASE
SOMEBODY
DIES
IT
WAS
sp
PART
OF
THE
sp
EQUIPMENT
OF
THE
HOUSEHOLD
sp
YEAH
sp
{OOV}
THE
THE
sp
SOME
OF
THEM
MADE
THEIR
OWN
SHROUDS
I
WOULD
IMAGINE
SO
sp
YEAH
THE
SHROUDS
sp
{OOV}
TO
sp
BE
THE
SUPPLIERS
YOU
KNOW
sp
AHA
sp
BUT
I
IMAGINE
SOME
PERSON
WOULD
WANT
sp
TO
USE
THEIR
OWN
sp
MHM
SHROUDS
MHM
BUT
sp
MOSTLY
I
WOULD
THINK
IT
WOULD
sp
BE
sp
MHM
sp
AND
WOULD
THE
sp
WOULD
YOUR
FATHER
sp
BE
AT
THE
FUNERAL
AS
WELL
OR
WOULD
HE
sp
OH
YES
YEAH
HE
WOULD
{OOV}
HE
WOULD
HE
WOULD
BE
ORGANIZING
THE
TAKING
OF
THE
SALT
sp
AND
THE
sp
HE
WOULD
STAY
UNTIL
THE
sp
MHM
UNTIL
THE
GRAVE
WAS
FILLED
IN
sp
MHM
SO
DID
HE
TAKE
PART
IN
THAT
AS
WELL
sp
HE'D
sp
FILL
THE
GRAVE
IN
{OOV}
YES
sp
I
I
REMEMBER
ONCE
A
COUSIN
CAME
sp
IT
sp
WAS
A
TRIP
DAY
sp
MHM
AND
THIS
A
sp
C
A
COUSIN
CAME
OUT
sp
FOR
TO
sp
SANDAY
sp
MHM
sp
AND
sp
HE
ASKED
AT
THE
PIER
sp
FOR
MY
sp
FATHER
sp
MHM
sp
BECAUSE
HE
WAS
sp
HE
WE
DIDN'T
KNOW
HE
WAS
COMING
sp
SO
THEY
SAYS
OH
THAT'S
THIS
WAS
sp
POINTED
OUT
TO
HIM
SO
HE
SAID
OH
I
sp
W
sp
YES
BUT
HE
SAYS
JUST
sp
COME
ALONG
WITH
HIM
SO
HE
WENT
TO
THE
FUNERAL
sp
AND
THEN
HE
{OOV}
YES
FIRST
THINGS
FIRST
sp
SO
HE
ALWAYS
REMEMBERS
THE
TIME
HE
WENT
TO
THIS
HE'S
NO
IDEA
WHO'S
FUNERAL
HE
WAS
AT
BUT
HE
JUST
WENT
ALONG
AND
THEN
HE
WAS
TAKEN
TO
sp
SEE
THE
FAMILY
sp
THAT'S
sp
QUITE
GOOD
{LG}
AND
ANOTHER
OCCASION
FATHER
SAID
sp
ERM
sp
HE
SAID
THE
KIRKYARDS
WEREN'T
VERY
WELL
LAID
OUT
sp
MHM
sp
I
sp
MEAN
{OOV}
THEY'D
sp
GRAVESTONES
HERE
GRAVESTONES
THERE
AND
sp
MHM
SOMETIMES
WHEN
THE
sp
GRAVE
DIGGER
sp
DUG
THE
GRAVE
sp
THEY
WOULD
sp
FIND
ER
sp
THAT
sp
IT
sp
WAS
sp
SOMEBODY
ELSE'S
GRAVE
AND
THEY
HAD
O
sp
START
AGAIN
sp
I'VE
sp
HEARD
OF
THAT
{OOV}
AHA
sp
AND
ER
ON
THIS
PARTICULAR
FUNERAL
sp
ER
THE
GRAVE
sp
THE
WHOLE
COMPANY
WAS
THERE
sp
MHM
sp
AND
sp
THIS
MAN
CAME
UP
sp
TO
ME
FATHER
AND
HE
SAYS
THAT
sp
IS
sp
NOT
sp
THE
RIGHT
sp
GRAVE
YOU'VE
BEEN
TOLD
sp
THE
FAMILY
HAD
YOU
SEE
THE
FAMILY
HAD
TO
COME
AND
TELL
HIM
WHERE
THE
GRAVE
WAS
sp
MHM
AND
THEN
HE
WOULD
ARRANGE
FOR
THE
GRAVE
DIGGER
TO
sp
DIG
THE
GRAVE
sp
I
sp
SEE
sp
MHM
ONLY
THEY'D
BEEN
TOLD
THE
WRONG
GRAVE
sp
ON
NO
sp
SO
FATHER
SAYS
WELL
JUST
KEEP
sp
QUIET
sp
ABOUT
IT
UNTIL
sp
THE
FUNERAL
'S
OVER
sp
MHM
sp
AND
THEN
WHEN
THEY'RE
ALL
AWAY
sp
WE'LL
GET
sp
THE
sp
{OOV}
sp
MOVED
sp
SO
THE
FUNERAL
WENT
ON
AND
THE
PERSON
WAS
LOWERED
INTO
THE
GRAVE
THAT
HAD
BEEN
DUG
AND
sp
THE
GRAVE
DIGGER
WAS
sp
ASKED
TO
STAY
BEHIND
AND
THEY
sp
QUICKLY
GOT
IT
sp
PUT
sp
WHERE
sp
IT
SHOULD
BE
FOR
sp
HEAVEN'S
sp
SAKES
AHA
sp
THE
PERSON
WHO
TOLD
HIM
WAS
ACTUALLY
I
SUPPOSE
THE
PERSON
sp
WHO'S
{OOV}
FAMILY
sp
OWNED
THE
GRAVE
sp
THAT
sp
YEAH
sp
IT
WAS
sp
SO
ER
sp
THAT
sp
THAT'S
QUITE
sp
AMAZING
THERE
WASN'T
EVEN
MORE
MISTAKES
LIKE
THAT
MADE
sp
WELL
THERE
MIGHT
HAVE
BEEN
THAT
NOBODY
KNEW
ABOUT
I
DON'T
KNOW
sp
YEAH
sp
BUT
THAT
WAS
ONE
CASE
THAT
HE
SAID
AND
THEN
HE
SAID
IT
WAS
GETTING
QUITE
DARK
BY
THAT
TIME
WHEN
THE
BOAT
CAME
IN
IT
WAS
QUITE
DARK
SO
THEY
WERE
sp
IT
WAS
QUITE
DARK
BEFORE
THEY
GOT
THE
MHM
sp
OH
sp
I
SEE
SO
THIS
WAS
A
BURIAL
OFF
OFF
THE
{OOV}
THE
BOAT
THE
sp
BOAT
THE
THE
BODY
OFF
THE
BOAT
AHA
sp
AHA
sp
GOOD
sp
GRIEF
sp
SO
THERE
WASN'T
ANY
OVERALL
PLAN
OF
A
sp
GRAVEYARD
{OOV}
sp
ARRANGED
{OOV}
sp
WELL
sp
VERY
POOR
PLANS
sp
AHA
sp
I
THINK
FOR
{OOV}
BUT
THEN
sp
FAMILIES
MOVED
AND
sp
YEAH
sp
MHM
sp
I
THINK
{OOV}
BETTER
NOW
BUT
I
THINK
THERE'S
sp
PROBABLY
IT'S
STILL
QUITE
STILL
DIFFICULT
QUITE
DIFFICULT
IN
THE
OLD
ER
sp
MHM
sp
{OOV}
sp
KIRKYARDS
sp
WHERE
THEY'RE
NOT
REALLY
MARKED
OUT
sp
MM
AND
I
DON'T
THINK
THERE
WAS
ANY
REAL
sp
PROPER
RECORDS
KEPT
OF
WHO
WAS
sp
WHERE
NO
I
DON'T
THINK
SO
sp
COS
NOBODY
WAS
RESPONSIBLE
FOR
THAT
REALLY
{OOV}
NO
sp
NO
BUT
I
I
THINK
IT
WOULD
BE
sp
I
DON'T
THINK
THAT
COULD
HAPPEN
IN
THE
NEWER
KIRKYARDS
sp
NO
sp
BUT
IT
WAS
JUST
THE
FACT
I
SUPPOSE
THAT
MAYBE
sp
SOME
OF
THE
THE
FAMILY
HAD
DIED
OUT
AND
THE
PERSON
THAT
WAS
sp
WASN'T
JUST
QUITE
CLEAR
WHERE
IT
WAS
sp
AHA
sp
SO
sp
WOULD
COFFIN
MAKING
STOP
ON
THE
ISLAND
WHEN
YOUR
sp
FATHER
STOPPED
NO
sp
{OOV}
sp
NO
sp
THERE
WAS
A
MAN
sp
A
MR
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION}
sp
DOWN
IN
THE
NORTH
END
{OOV}
sp
LESLIE
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION}
WHO
USED
TO
BE
THE
APPRENTICE
HE
TOOK
MHM
HE
STARTED
UP
sp
ON
HIS
OWN
WHEN
FATHER
STOPPED
sp
MHM
WHEN
HE
RETIRED
sp
AND
THIS
ER
sp
MR
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION}
sp
DID
THE
UNDERTAKING
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
I
DON'T
sp
KNOW
IF
HE
WAS
A
sp
JOINER
sp
{OOV}
sp
HE
WAS
A
JOINER
sp
CERTAINLY
MHM
sp
BUT
I
DON'T
KNOW
IF
HE
WAS
A
TIME
SERVED
sp
JOINER
OR
IF
HE
WAS
JUST
A
sp
HE
WAS
REALLY
A
VERY
GOOD
sp
HANDYMAN
sp
MHM
sp
AND
WAS
A
JOINER
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
BUT
WHETHER
HE
REALLY
WAS
A
S
sp
TIME
SERVED
ONE
OR
NOT
I
DON'T
sp
KNOW
BUT
HE
sp
DID
IT
THEN
sp
MHM
sp
S
sp
AND
NOW
YOU
SEE
UNDERTAKING
'S
STILL
DONE
ON
THE
ISLAND
sp
OH
REALLY
sp
BUT
THE
sp
COFFINS
ARE
sp
THEY
COME
FROM
THE
MAINLAND
sp
MHM
THEY
PROBABLY
HAVE
A
SUPPLY
OF
THEM
sp
MHM
sp
YOU
DON'T
KNOW
WHEN
COFFIN
MAKING
STOPPED
ON
SANDAY
sp
THEN
ROUGHLY
sp
WHAT
DATE
{OOV}
THAT
WOULD
sp
BE
I
DON'T
KNOW
sp
MHM
I
KNOW
THAT
FATHER
sp
HE
USED
sp
TO
YOU
sp
SEE
IF
HE
WAS
GOING
AWAY
FROM
THE
ISLAND
sp
MHM
sp
AND
HE
WAS
AWAY
sp
APRIL
{OOV}
sp
HE
sp
WOULD
ALWAYS
HAVE
A
HALF
MADE
COFFIN
sp
A
SORT
OF
STANDARD
SIZED
ONE
sp
MHM
sp
IN
A
sp
{OOV}
UNDERNEATH
HIS
WORKSHOP
sp
SO
THAT
THE
APPRENTICE
OH
RIGHT
THEY
COULD
sp
HE
COULD
CARRY
ON
AND
DO
IT
JUST
AS
A
SORT
OF
EMERGENCY
THING
sp
I
sp
SEE
sp
WAS
THIS
sp
THAT
WAS
IN
THE
VERY
END
sp
MHM
{OOV}
BUT
BEFORE
THAT
TIME
I
GUESS
FATHER
DIDN'T
LEAVE
sp
THE
ISLAND
sp
THAT'S
RIGHT
sp
YES
sp
SO
THERE
WAS
NO
PROBLEM
sp
MHM
sp
{OOV}
AHA
sp
EMERGENCY
{LG}
YEAH
sp
{OOV}
sp
I
SEE
SO
THERE
WOULD
sp
BE
sp
IF
HE
WAS
THIS
WOULD
BE
sp
AT
THE
END
WHEN
sp
YOU
KNOW
{OOV}
THIS
WASN'T
HE
DIDN'T
EVER
sp
DO
ANYTHING
LIKE
THAT
BEFORE
HE
WENT
OFF
TO
THE
W
sp
W
DURING
THE
WAR
sp
HE
DIDN'T
{OOV}
NO
I
THINK
IT
WAS
JUST
STRAIGHTFORWARD
{OOV}
sp
YEAH
sp
BUT
THEN
sp
TOWARDS
THE
END
OF
THIS
W
WOULD
THIS
BE
TO
HELP
LESLIE
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION}
JUST
IN
CASE
ANYTHING
HAPPENED
I
DON'T
KNOW
sp
BECAUSE
I
WAS
AWAY
FROM
HOME
BY
THIS
TIME
BUT
I
sp
I
sp
DO
KNOW
THAT
sp
ER
sp
MHM
sp
MHM
HE
WOULD
sp
HAVE
sp
SO
IT
WAS
PROBABLY
ABOUT
THE
NINETEEN
sp
WHAT
sp
EARLY
SEVENTIES
COFFIN
MAKING
WOULD
STOP
ON
SANDAY
I
DON'T
REALLY
KNOW
BUT
sp
LESLIE
COULD
WELL
BE
ABLE
TO
TELL
YOU
YEAH
sp
MHM
sp
DID
YOU
sp
DID
YOU
KNOW
WHAT
YOUR
FATHER
EVER
THOUGHT
OF
THE
MODERN
COFFINS
sp
{OOV}
OH
I
SUPPOSE
HE
sp
YES
sp
HE
WAS
A
VERY
MODERN
MINDED
PERSON
sp
AHA
sp
I
GUESS
HE
THOUGHT
IT
WAS
FINE
sp
AHA
sp
AHA
sp
{OOV}
I
DON'T
THINK
IT'D
BEEN
VERY
LUCRATIVE
WORK
WITH
THE
AMOUNT
OF
TIME
HE
TOOK
TO
IT
NO
sp
NO
NOT
IF
THEY
WOULD
sp
WHAT
SPEND
ABOUT
A
WHOLE
DAY
MAKING
IT
WOULD
sp
THEY
{OOV}
sp
OH
WELL
sp
THERE
WAS
A
sp
LOT
OF
MORE
TIME
THAN
THAT
TAKEN
UP
sp
YOU
SEE
sp
AHA
sp
BECAUSE
THERE'S
ALL
THE
OTHER
RUNNING
AS
WELL
sp
YES
IT
WAS
A
WHOLE
AHA
IT
WASN'T
JUST
COFFIN
MAKING
{OOV}
HE
PROBABLY
WOULD
GET
sp
A
SORT
OF
WAGES
OUT
OF
IT
sp
BUT
ER
{OOV}
RUNNING
I
WOULD
IMAGINE
WOULD
BE
FOR
NOTHING
sp
YEAH
sp
MHM
sp
YOU'D
PROBABLY
sp
WOULD
IT
SORT
OF
MAYBE
BE
A
SET
sp
AMOUNT
FOR
MAKING
A
sp
COFFIN
sp
{OOV}
I
WOULD
THINK
SO
AS
I
WOULD
HAVE
THINK
SO
AHA
AHA
sp
AND
sp
I
DON'T
THINK
IT
sp
WOULD
BE
VERY
LUCRATIVE
MHM
BUT
{OOV}
sp
