Mr. White is afraid because the son they buried had been dead for ten day..... his body would be decomposing.

The old man turned and looked at her, and his voice shook. “He has been dead ten days, and besides he – I would not tell you before, but – I could only recognize him by his clothing. If he was too terrible for you to see then, how now?”
