Martha smiled at the idea of these dear dead days.
She is upset with him, because in one more day he would have been pronounced legally dead.
After remaining dead for three days, he rose again to repeat the cycle, and continues doing so till this day.
Imagine if we were allowed to come back from the dead for one ordinary day and see ourselves.
Only a dozen bottles left now from the dead days beyond recall.
More likely, one of them was going to end up very dead this day, and no wistful smile could change that.
Find themselves as inadequate to recapture the dear, dead days?
A long long long time since those dead and gone good days.
How little he had thought, in those dead days, of all that was in store for him!
So that's a dead day for next week.
