"And by success you mean ?" "A large attendance of regular hearers in the morning not a seat to let! and the people of Glaston crowding to hear the word in the evening, and going away because they can't get a foot inside the place! That's the success I should like to see." "What! would you have all Glaston such as yourselves!" exclaimed the pastor indignantly.

Not a man in Glaston was readier, by day or by night, to run to the help of another, and that not merely in his professional capacity, but as a neighbor, whatever the sort of help was needed. Thomas Wingfold, the curate, had a great respect for him.
After sunset the clouds gathered thicker than before, and the rain of the day was as nothing to the torrent descending with a steady clash all night.

Her father would sometimes remark to a friend how Dorothy's love of solitude seemed to grow upon her; but the remark suggested nothing, and slowly Juliet was being forgotten at Glaston.

This youth, therefore, Greorge Bascombe by name, whose visible calling at present was to eat his way to the bar, she often invited to Glaston; and on this Friday afternoon he was on his way from London to spend the Saturday and Sunday with the two ladies.
A cursed confusion indeed is the universe, if it be no creation, but the helpless unhelpable thing such men would have us believe it the hotbed mother of the children of an iron Necessity.
