The young maiden Suzie mourned unstoppably for her dear uncle as the night continued to progress. She was utterly inconsolable.
The late Governor's aide-de-camp Polo tried all he could to calm her down but it was to no avail.
The administrative headquarters' imperial sentinels came to lend him a hand in attempting to appease the young miss but none of them succeeded.
They couldn't even take the old uncle's body to the mortuary, for the young miss didn't allow them.
She hugged the corpse of her relative so strongly that it was impossible to snatch it from her without brutality, something that the Commander of the imperial forces would have never tolerated from his men.
So, ultimately they gave up and let the young miss continue her funeral.
In the meantime, the news of the new bats' attack in Okunde had spread across the empire and Big momma who was as customary sitting on her rattan chair, listened nervously to the radio.
