In the fourth paragraph, it is noted that the villagers keep their distance.... thus, they are no eagerly anticipating the ritual. We also see that Mr. Martin and his son hesitate before assisting Mr. Summers..... acting as if they don't want any part in the proceedings.
The villagers kept their distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stool. and when Mr. Summers said, "Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?" there was a hesitation before two men. Mr. Martin and his oldest son, Baxter. came forward to hold the box steady on the stool while Mr. Summers stirred up the papers inside it.
