Ah, then the church! how much is that? Banker. Three sittings for you and your two children will not amount to quite so much as the club. Mrs W. Of course not. But even so it is a bad system. The church ought not to be made a medium of traffic paying for church-seats always gives me a headache. I think, do you know, two sittings will be sufficient; yes, put me down for two.
Often the floor of the pews was several inches and occasionally a foot higher than the floor of the "alleys," thus forming at the entrance-door of the pew one or two steps, which were great stumbling-blocks to clumsy and to childish feet, that tripped again when within the pew over the "crickets" and foot-benches which were, if the family were large, the accepted and lowly church-seats of the little children.
The nearest approach to the record of a succession of worthies occupying the same church-seats year after year is to be found in the chronicles of our oldest college-chapels, as, for instance, at Dartmouth, where the building containing the still-used chapel dates from 1786.
