Help me with this pragraph please, I am reading the novel <pride and prejudice and zombie>.

assembly hall, immediately joined by the shattering of window panes. Unmentionables poured in,
their movements clumsy yet swift; their burial clothing in a range of untidiness. Some wore gowns
so tattered as to render them scandalous; other wore suits so filthy that one would assume they
were assembled from little more than dirt and dried blood. Their flesh was in varying degrees of
putrefaction; the freshly stricken were slightly green and pliant, whereas the longer dead were
grey and brittle-their eyes and tongues long since turned to dust, and their lips pulled back into
everlasting skeletal smiles.
