As late as 1633 the bishop of Bath and Wells could write to Archbishop Laud: "I finde that by Church-ales hertofore many poore Parishes have cast their Bells, repaired their Towers, beautified their Churches, and raised stocks for the poore." Wm. Prynne, Canterburies' Doome, etc. , 151. Cf. And they maintaine other extraordinarie charges in their Parishes besides."
For love conflicts with patriotism woefully, and, though nobody could be more grateful than Bertha for the good service Daniel had done her, yet somehow she could not be over-pleased with him. She thanked him, however, very warmly; but it was Doome who set the chair for him, and Doome who got the beer for him, and Doome who proposed the sailor's solace of a pipe.
"Do you remember the poor sailor-boy Daniel?" "I never saw him," said Doome. "No, friend sailor, you need not squeeze my hand, I never did see him." "Well, he has grown a man, and has come home." "Then," said Jodoque, "I suppose I may go home." "Come home? where is he? Still, my sailor friend, I can't tell why you should tremble." "Yes, he has come home; and if he will have me, I will marry him."
As the pipe was lit by that young woman, Bertha got up to leave the room. "Where are you going, Bertha?" "Into the garden. My head aches." And she went out. "I think, Doome, they call you Doome, don't they? and a tidy name, too, I think, Doome, Bertha doesn't like pipes." "I think the smell of a pipe delicious." "And what do you think of this pipe?" "Oh! I think it a beautiful pipe!"
And because mention is made of it in mens wils and testaments, I warrant you there is none will set his hand to them, til the physitian hath given his last doome, and utterly forsaken him. And God knowes, being then betweene such paine and feare, with what sound judgment they endure him.
He dragged him near the window and looked quickly at him. Then he turned pale himself, and wrung his hand. "Yes!" said he, "yes! it is Daniel himself, the very Daniel!" "Ah! so much the better!" said Doome. "Daniel? the very Daniel?" said Bertha, faintly, and turned paler yet. "I know you, comrade," said the sailor, aside, "I know you.
The burgomaster, who shall be in the plot, shall marry you to my wife, and when you are gone, God speed you! The burgomaster will set all that right, as he can; and Bertha and I will often talk, in our seaside cot, of the French officer that we saved." Here Doome interrupted the dialogue; for she could not conquer her curiosity farther.

The young sailor, keeping his eyes away from Bertha, who set to work drawing a huge mug of beer, in which piece of hospitality Jodoque hoveringly helped her, and addressing himself to Doome, said, "Do you know, I was nearly snapped up by a shark some months ago?"
"And he'll have a good wife, Bertha," said the sailor, and he made a movement as though about to run to the girl; but little Doome, too impulsive to think about the Fräulein Grundei, enthusiastically clasped the arms of her friend's eulogizer. "Yes, marry him! and at this moment he is in that room! And now any one of you may open the door." "Open the door?
