These walls are mute, built of wood, which burns better than blood, but they shall sleep with many sounder souls hereafter. If they could speak, these walls would lie; they know mouths hold ghosts worse than rope-burned rafters, and spread the stain much faster.

this is very haunting and speaks volumes.
I really like the phrase of the "mouths..... spread the stain faster".
