During the wake for Wake Corpse, Maisey O'Connell gives Tommy Burke and Jack Flood a drink and they give a toast to Wake Corpse. Arthur Blake walks into the funeral parlor and tells Maisey that the Wake Corpse was his aunt. Maisey, Tommy and Jack go into the kitchen to get tea for Arthur so he can be alone with Wake Corpse and when they close the kitchen door, Arthur ties a rope around it so it can't be opened. He then ties a rope around Wake Corpse and then he and Willy Grimes pull it out and take it.
