Ta King the Uniform of His First German Victim and Weighting the Body in a Bag at The

Taking the uniform of his first German victim and weighting the body in a bag at the bottom of his pond,

Milon knows he must hide the corpse where no one would find it. He chooses a quick, quiet method to dispose of the body. He uses his nearby pond because the body will leave no smell or trace of a hasty burial. Another part of his plan, weighting the body, assures that it will not float, and his removal of the uniform will make the victim more difficult to identify if the corpse should come to the surface.

Clearly, this old Norman can think fast in the moment of pressure and fear. Finally, with a quick but shrewd realization, he sees he may be able to use this uniform in the future when he gets an “idea into [his] head” (3).
