Dead weight

On the way: 
Now, you may be wearing a well-worn a paisley silk cravat and reading the latest issue of the New Scientist. You may even have a noble, aquiline nose, soulful Morten Harket eyes in dark blue and a mature but well-groomed beard. And a bald patch at the centre of your silvering mane. 
But if you're sitting there in a flat-brimmed leather hat and a long black coat that reaches more than half way down your black jeans. And wearing a black waistcoat with a fob-watch chain hanging out of its pocket, over your deep burgundy shirt. 
And more to the point, if you're carrying a heavy, studded wooden box about three feet long and one foot deep, with edges scuffed and surfaces scraped - in the shape of a coffin.
Well, you're going to raise some suspicion.
