The narrator’s aunt goes with him to Father Flynn’s wake. When she gathers with the narrator, Nannie, and Eliza after the wake, she speaks highly of Father Flynn, and praises the two sisters for having cared for him. Her seemingly unquestioned high opinion of the old priest suggests that she may not have shared the suspicions of the narrator’s uncle or Old Cotter, who seem to think that Father Flynn was corrupt and had an inappropriate relationship with the narrator.
