They were not ornamental, quite the contrary; but they were very useful as a shelter for the horses of the church-goers who came from a distance, and they had been added by way of conciliating the North Gore people when one and another of them began to come to the village church. Toward the church one fair Sabbath morning in June, many Gershom people were hastening.
