Grosse flatly declined to allow himself to be influenced by any speculative consideration of that sort. When we reached the rectory gate, he had cooled a little. As we crossed the garden, he reminded me that I stood pledged to be present when the bandage was taken off. "Now mind!" he said.
"What time does he go out in the morning?" John Thorndyke asked abruptly. "He never gets up till twelve o'clock, and has his breakfast when I take my dinner." "Well, I will come in tomorrow morning and have a talk with him myself." The next day the Squire rode up to the door of the Rectory soon after one o'clock. Mr.

Are you going to tell your brother you knew him?" Esther would not answer, and separated by several yards they walked sullenly back to the Rectory. Mark tried next day to make up his difference with Esther; but she repulsed his advances, and the friendship that had blossomed after the Pomeroy affair faded and died.

Existing clergy were secured in their incomes for life; the disestablished Church was allowed to claim all churches then in actual use, and to purchase rectory houses and glebes at a valuation; and a sum of £500,000 was given to the Church in lieu of all private endowments. Everything else even endowments given by private persons a few years before the Act was passed was swept away.
