Adopted once more by the bereaved Batchfords. Second reconciliation. Another lapse of time. Reverend Finch, left a widower with one daughter, became personally acquainted with an inhabitant of the great city near which he ministered, who was also a widower with one daughter. The status of the parent, in this case social-political-religious was Shoemaker-Radical-Baptist.
Her brother and sister declined to be present at the ceremony. First quarrel. Lucilla was born. Adopted by the magnanimous Batchfords. First reconciliation. Time passed. Mr. Batchford, being a rich man, regarded this overture, it is needless to say, in the light of an insult. Miss Batchford sided with her brother. Second quarrel. Time passed, as before. Mrs. Finch the first died.
Her happiest days had been the days she spent with her uncle and aunt; her visits to the Batchfords had grown to be longer and longer visits with every succeeding year.
Reverend Finch, still wanting money, swallowed it all; and married the daughter, with a dowry of three thousand pounds. This proceeding alienated from him for ever, not the Batchfords only, but the peacemaking elder brother as well. That excellent Christian ceased to be on speaking terms now with his brother the clergyman, as well as with all the rest of the family.
