He passed different points as he went, and he thought of the trout he had caught there, or had wished to catch, and he thought also how often Sam Brattle had been with him as he had stood there delicately throwing his fly. In those days Sam had been very fond of him, had thought it to be a great thing to be allowed to fish with the parson, and had been reasonably obedient.
"People know what is good for them to do, well enough, without being dictated to by a clergyman!" He had repeated the words to himself and to his wife a dozen times, and talked of having them put up in big red letters over the fire-place in his own study. He had therefore quite determined to say never another word to old Brattle in reference to his daughter Carry.
George Brattle, such permission as would have bound the brother to accept Carry, providing that Mrs. George would also consent to accept her. But even this permission was accompanied by an assurance that it would not have been given had he not felt perfectly convinced that his wife would not listen for a moment to the scheme. He spoke of his wife almost with awe, when Mr.
Packer had nothing to say to this. He was not responsible for the building. He endeavoured to explain that the Marquis had nothing to do with the work, and had simply given the land. "Which was all that he could do," said the Vicar, laughing. It was on the same day and while Packer was still standing close to him, that Fanny Brattle accosted him.

The Tuesday's magistrates' meeting had come off at Heytesbury, and Sam Brattle had been discharged. Mr. Jones had on this occasion indignantly demanded that his client should be set free without bail; but to this the magistrates would not assent.
"My friend," he said, "you were quite right about his lordship's acres." "Those are the numbers," said Mr. Puddleham. "I mean that you were quite right to make the observation. Facts are always valuable, and I am sure Lord Trowbridge was obliged to you. But I think you were a little wrong as to another statement." "What statement, Mr. Fenwick?" "What you said about poor Carry Brattle.
If he really disapproved of the prosecutions at Salem if, as the Reviewer positively states, he "denounced" them is it not unaccountable that Brattle did not name him with his father? These questions press with especial force upon the Reviewer, under the interpretation he crowds upon the passage from Brattle, I am now to cite.
