Hello,
"If someone in a group of merry talkers, assembled to wile away the weary hour, inadvertently mentions the name of a dead person, another in a hoarse whisper cries out 'It is a dead person'..."

"To wile away the weary hour" means spend time to avoid boredom or it is like they get together talking jollily to rest a bit after their weary activity?
Thank you in advance
