The journey to town was not to be lightly undertaken; indeed, as far as might be, it was obviated altogether.

Brewitt, the blacksmith, said to me the other day that his 'prentice had no mind to his trade; 'and yet, sir, said Brewitt, 'what would a young fellow have if he doesn't like the blacksmithing?" The rector cherished a fatherly delight, which he allowed to escape him only in moderation.
