'Do just let me look at them again! Have you got any graves here, Aunt Hester? I wish I had some. Poor Bob has too many, hasn't he?' Miss Hester gave a little shiver. 'What an extraordinary child you are! You don't know the meaning of graves, or you wouldn't talk so!' DO JUST LET ME LOOK AT THEM AGAIN HAVE YOU GOT ANY GRAVES HERE AUNT HESTER I WISH I HAD SOME POOR BOB HAS TOO MANY HASN'T HE MISS HESTER GAVE A LITTLE SHIVER WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY CHILD YOU ARE YOU DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF GRAVES OR YOU WOULDN'T TALK SO

Much of this was above the children's heads, but Roland said, after a minute's thought, 'Will dead people come up out of the ground like the flowers?' 'Ay, Master Roland, the flowers are a very poor picture of the glorified body.' 'And they go to sleep in the winter time?' the boy went on; 'and how often does Easter come?' 'The flowers have their Easter every year, but we have to wait a little longer for ours. I ofttimes think that when the Lord do come down from heaven with a shout, He will choose Easter Sunday to wake the dead, for 'tis the day He rose Himself!' Old Bob did not say much more, and Roland and Olive went back to the house thinking busily. The next day was Sunday, and they went to church with their aunts; but directly the service was over, Roland, who was walking with Miss Hester, pulled her by the hand towards Bob's five graves in the corner. THE DEVIL HIMSELF MAY TEMPT AND TRY ONE IN THE WINTER BUT AWAY HE GOES IN THE SPRING WHEN EVERY BIT OF THIS BLESSED EARTH IS PREACHING THE RESURRECTION TO US MUCH OF THIS WAS ABOVE THE CHILDREN'S HEADS BUT ROLLIN SAID AFTER TAKING A MINUTE THOUGHT WILL DEAD PEOPLE COME UP OUT OF THE GROUND LIKE THE FLOWERS AY MASTER ROLAND THE FLOWERS ARE A VERY POOR PICTURE OF THE GLORIFIED BODY AND THEY GO TO SLEEP IN THE WINTER TIME THE BOY WENT ON AND HOW OFTEN DOES EASTER COME THE FLOWERS HAVE THEIR EAST EVERY YEAR BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER FOR HOURS I OFTTIMES THINK THOUGH WHEN THE LORD DO COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOT HE WILL CHOOSE EASTER SUNDAY TO WAIT THE DEAD FOR TIS THE DAY HE ROLLS HIMSELF OLD BOB DID NOT SAY MUCH MORE AND ROLAND AND OLIVE WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE THINKING BUSILY THE NEXT DAY WAS SUNDAY AND THEY WENT TO CHURCH WITH THEIR AUNTS BUT DIRECTLY THE SERVICE WAS OVER ROLAND WHO WAS WALKING WITH MISS ESTHER PULLED HER BY THE HAND TOWARDS BOB'S FIVE GRAVES IN THE CORNER
