Portman, who was vastly bitter against Pen, especially since his impertinent behaviour to the Doctor and since the wretch had smoked cigars in church-time: perhaps, finally, she was jealous; but this is a vice in which it is said the ladies very seldom indulge.
"I'm not a baby for home, but I do get a bit homesick about church-time. Sunday is such a strange day to me without a service." "Why not have one, then?" he suggested, eagerly. "We can sing and you could do the rest!" Her eyes lighted at the suggestion, and she cast a quick glance at the men. Would they stand for that sort of thing? Gardley followed her glance and caught her meaning.
And then the figure he made, with his decent portliness, his whiskers, the money in his purse, the excellent cigar that he now lit, recurred to his mind in consolatory comparison with that of a certain maddened lad who, on a certain spring Sunday ten years before, and in the hour of church-time silence, had stolen from that city by the Glasgow road.
As he started up, she asked if he had been here in the dark ever since church-time? 'I have not wanted light, he answered with a sigh, long, deep, and irrepressible, and as she stirred the fire, the flame revealed to her the traces of tears. She longed to comfort him, and said 'This Sunday twilight is a quiet time for thinking. 'Yes, he said; 'how few Sundays ago and there he paused.
So to the office, and there late at business, and then home to supper and to bed.

"Is it Cousin Elizabeth?" she said, holding out a wavering hand. Mrs. Mason scarcely allowed her own to be touched. "We're not used to visitors i' church-time," she said abruptly, in a deep funereal voice. "Mappen you'll sit down." And still holding the girl with her eyes, she walked across to an old rocking-chair, let herself fall into it, and with a loud sigh loosened her bonnet strings.
Even little Harry in some measure abstained from indulging in his ordinary train of meditation during church-time, consisting chiefly of planning fishing excursions and games for the holidays. How many older and wiser heads are prone to the same kind of reverie, and could not have given a better account of "papa's sermon" than he was usually able to do!

The singing of that very fine aria was theatrical, I can't call it less than theatrical." She fixed Georgie with her black beady eye, and smoothed her undulated hair. "Theatrical," she said again.
When she rose up it was with moist eyelashes; and then she perceived what until this minute she had not seen, that close behind her, sitting where he had probably sat all church-time, was Nathanael Harper.
