As for Peter , to be sure he had left children , but then he was gone himself . And these that had behaved so bad to their blessed mother were all she had to stand by her grave . It was very mysterious , but she was at rest now , and would never feel their undutifulness any more . '' It was about four o'clock on that summer-like afternoon that the mourners came home from the funeral . The ladies for the sake of quiet retired with Peter to their rooms in the roof ; the Mortimers , after partaking of a slight repast in the great parlour , stepped out and began to pace up and down before the house to refresh their spirits with a little air . The will had been read in the morning , before the funeral took place . Valentine Mortimer and John Mortimer , the two grandsons , were both present .
