I knew that I could not take the dead body out of the house, either by day or night, without risk of being seen by our neighbors.
Many ideas entered my mind.
I thought of cutting up the corpse into small pieces and destroying them by fire.
Another idea was to dig a grave in the floor of the cellar and bury the body there.
I also thought of throwing it into a box, like a piece of merchandise and hiring someone to deliver it somewhere else.
Finally, I came up with an idea that was the beast so far.
I would cover up the body in the walls of the cellar as the monks in the middle ages did with their victims.
