The thing is very well writ indeed. 2nd. Took coach, and no sooner in the coach but something broke, that we were fain there to stay till a smith could be fetched, which was above an hour, and then it costing me 6s. to mend. Away round by the wall and Cow-lane, for fear it should break again, and in pain about the coach all the way.
The very next Sunday after the visit of their deputation to him, the church in Cow-lane asked their old minister to preach to them. Dorothy, as a matter of course, went with her father, although, dearly as she loved him, she would have much preferred hearing what the curate had to say.
When the rumor reached the members of his late congregation that he had come in for a large property, many called to congratulate him, and such congratulations are pretty sure to be sincere. But he was both annoyed and amused when it was in the morning during business hours Dorothy came and told him, not without some show of disgust, that a deputation from the church in Cow-lane was below.
A place that any lady or gentleman, let he or she be so much of a Christian, might turn up the nose and refrain the foot from! No! I say; what we want is a new place of worship. Cow-lane is behind the age and that musty! uw!" "With the words of truth left sticking on the walls?" suggested Mr. Drake. "Ha! ha! ha! Good that!" exclaimed several.
The mutter of his denunciation could be heard above the yells of the fakers and the squawk of penny whistles. Occasionally he scruffed his forearm over his head as though fondling something that hurt him.

That's what it comes to, sir!" The pastor's spiritual gorge rose at this paganism in Jew clothing. "You think God loves newness and finery better than the old walls where generations have worshiped?" he said. "I make no doubt of it, sir," answered Barwood. "What's generations to him! He wants the people drawn to His house; and what there is in Cow-lane to draw is more than I know."
