"May I speak to you a minute?" said the strange young man, dropping the "sir." "I'll walk with you as far as the clergy-house if you'll let me." When they were out of earshot of the house Frank began. "You're Parham-Carter, aren't you?" he said. "Of Hales'." The other nodded. "Well, will you give me your word not to tell a soul I'm here, and I'll tell you who I am? You've forgotten me, I see.
She was still crying. "I reckerlec' seeing you in Crook Lane, sir, the day we christened my byeby, and I waited, thinking p'raps you could help me." "Come this way," said John, and walking by his side along the blank wall of Lincoln's Inn Fields, the girl told her story. She lived in one room of the clergy-house at the back of his church.
The next moment the figure passed into the circle of light thrown down by a high lamp that glimmered over a Robbia-esque plaque shrine let into the wall, and they saw that it was a cassocked priest from the clergy-house going into church. Rhoda let out her breath faintly in a sigh, and her fingers fell from Peter's coat-sleeve.
They were mildly useful for entertaining the children and taking them to Southend, and in cases of absolute despair they could be relied upon for soup-tickets or even half-crowns; but the big mysterious church, with its gilded screen, its curious dark glass, and its white little side-chapel, with the Morris hangings, the great clergy-house, the ladies, the parish magazine and all the rest of it these were simply inexplicable.
Parham-Carter's room in the clergy-house was of the regular type very comfortable and pleasing to the eye, as it ought to be for a young man working under such circumstances; not really luxurious; pious and virile.
I quite agree with you that" he paused a moment "that the head of the family should be at Merefield to-morrow night. But for to-night you three must just go round to the clergy-house and wait. I've got to finish my job clean out and " "What job?" cried two voices simultaneously. Frank leaned against the wall and put his hands in his pockets. "I really don't propose to go into all that now.
It possesses two important blocks of buildings besides the schools a large jam factory and the church and clergy-house of the Eton Mission. Turner Road is perhaps the most hopeless of all the dozen and a half of streets. It is intersected at one point by another street, and is composed of tall dark houses, with flat fronts, perhaps six or seven stories in height.
If he had money he wouldn't know how to spend it. I read a book the other day about a priest who lived a very devoted life in the slums he had two rooms in a clergy-house and there was a chapter in praise of the way in which he endured his poverty. But it was all wrong! What that man really enjoyed was preaching and ceremonial and company he had a real love of human beings.
The body of canons was called a chapter, and of chapters there were two kinds the cathedral chapter, whose members served the Mother Church of the diocese, and, as we have seen, ultimately obtained the nominal right of electing the bishop; and the collegiate chapter, generally, though not always, to be found in towns which had no cathedral, the members of which, like those of a modern clergy-house, served the church or churches of the town.
Parham-Carter was summoned by the neat maid-servant of the clergy-house to see two gentlemen. She presented two cards on a plated salver, inscribed with the names of Richard Guiseley and John B. Kirkby. He got up very quickly, and went downstairs two at a time. A minute later he brought them both upstairs and shut the door. "Sit down," he said. "I'm most awfully glad you've come.
