{"product_id":"2940016291659","title":"Wynnum White's Wickedness Author: J. D. Hennessey","description":"The old and well known name of White had been first painted over the\u003cbr\u003eshop in Chester-street twenty years before; but as young Wynnum looked\u003cbr\u003eup and read it by the light of the street gas-lamp he had to choke down\u003cbr\u003ea bit of a sigh, for he knew that it would soon be painted out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name had been done in black and gold block letters, and displayed on\u003cbr\u003eeither side was the further information--Cabinetmaker, Upholsterer, and\u003cbr\u003eUndertaker. The last branch of the business, it may be said, however,\u003cbr\u003ewas a sinecure, for there had not been a single funeral conducted during\u003cbr\u003ethe whole of the twenty years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was painted up originally, and had been re-painted and gilded, once\u003cbr\u003eevery five years or so, because it looked well, and savoured of older\u003cbr\u003edays, for it was regarded as being the privilege only of very\u003cbr\u003eold-established London firms thus to designate themselves--firms which\u003cbr\u003edated their origin from a time previous to undertaking being carried on\u003cbr\u003eas a distinct and separate business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo one was deceived, however. There was a proper undertaker's\u003cbr\u003eestablishment a few doors down the street, where one might have a cheap,\u003cbr\u003eshabby genteel 'Reform funeral,' or be buried with all the pageantry and\u003cbr\u003epomp of crape and tossing plumes, and mutes, and velvet pall, and other\u003cbr\u003eaccessories of fashionable grief. In fact, for money, you might have\u003cbr\u003epurchased tears! But, notwithstanding all this, the Whites clung to the\u003cbr\u003eassumption that they were undertakers, and felt themselves to be raised\u003cbr\u003eabove the common herd of furniture-dealers in Chester-street by the\u003cbr\u003eappellation.","brand":"WDS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071265915120,"sku":"2940016291659","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016291659","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
