Mrs. Wiggs carried his head , while Billy Wiggs and Mary and Asia and Chris officiated at his arms and legs . The bride surveyed the scene from the chinks of the upstairs shutters . Silently the little group waited until the lumbering freight train slowed up to take water , then with a concerted effort they lifted the heavy burden into an empty car .
