'I shall write to Armitstead this afternoon and ask him, if he possibly can, to come to-morrow afternoon, instead of Monday, and take the service. Catherine's hands clasped each other still more closely. So then she had heard her husband's voice for the last time in the public ministry of the Church, in prayer, in exhortation, in benediction!
'Everybody, had better suppose, he said choking, 'that we are coming back. Of course we need say nothing. Armitstead will be here for next week certainly.
