Rebby was very proud of this box, and in it she kept her most treasured possessions: a handkerchief of fine lawn with a lace edge, a pin made from a silver sixpence, and the prayer-book her Grandmother Weston had given her. When Lucia gave her the silk mitts for a birthday present Rebby had put them carefully away with these other treasures.
'I'm glad you do, sir, for I don't, meekly answered Tregarva. 'But the vicar, sir, he is a kind man, and a good; but the poor don't understand him, nor he them. He is too learned, sir, and, saving your presence, too fond of his prayer-book. 'One can't be too fond of a good thing.
Bishop Charles Wordsworth said that no man of his standing in the university habitually read his Bible more or knew it better. Cardinal Manning described him walking in the university with his 'Bible and Prayer-book tucked under his arm. ... He quitted Oxford with a religious belief still untinctured by Catholic theology.
Her eyes rested on him for a second in reproach, then dropped behind the veil of their lids. In another moment he would have to go. He had already surrendered her prayer-book, tucking it gently under her arm. "You'll be all right when you get in, won't you?" he said encouragingly. "Please go," she whispered.

Masham says he will take me to a place where the finest knives in the world are to be bought. It is a great thing to go to London with Dr. Masham. 'I have never written your name in your Bible and Prayer-book. I will do it this evening. 'Lady Annabel is to write it in the Bible, and you are to write it in the Prayer-book.

Is it nothing to be tied to a man to any man for all your life?" "That's as you take it. Nobody makes so much of it nowadays as they used. The clergy themselves, who are at the bottom of all the business, don't fuss about every trifle in the prayer-book. They sign the articles, and have done with it meaning, of course, to break them, if they stand in their way." Hesper rose in anger.
Religion was not mentioned till they were approaching the house for tea. On the threshold, Desmond said with a nervous laugh "I'd like your mother to give me a Prayer-book a small one, nothing expensive." During the following week they hunted with fox hounds or stag-hounds every day, except Wednesday. In the New Forest the Easter hunting is unique.
The young woman wore her wedding dress, now nearly seven months old, and clasped in her hand a neatly bound prayer-book which had been the gift of the Reverend Orlando.
