Another day, when she was coming away with him from the studio, she had met Lady Archie Brooke at the corner of Glebe Place. She had not stopped to speak. But Lady Archie had stared at Arabian. And Miss Van Tuyn knew what that meant. The "old guard" would be told of Beryl's wonderful new man. She felt nervously sensitive about Arabian.
Whenever I see the parson I feel bound to thank him for having educated me so well, but he always laughs and says he owes me far more for letting his glebe at such a good rent for him. He is on very friendly terms with me, and if you settle down here, I'll take you to call and then you'll see it for yourself."
"I happened to see her in Glebe Place with that fellow they are all chattering about, but I didn't speak to her. I believe her father was dead then. But I didn't know it at the time." "Oh! Is he so very handsome, as they say?" She could not help saying this, and watching him as she said it. "I should say he was a good-looking chap," answered Craven frigidly. "But he looks like a wrong 'un."
Having thus resolved he came back to breakfast and read Mr. Quickenham's letter aloud to his wife and Mary Lowther. "Glebe!" said the Vicar's wife. "Do you mean that it is part of your own land?" asked Mary. "Exactly that," said the Vicar. "And that old thief of a Marquis has given away what belongs to us?" said Mrs. Fenwick. "He has given away what did not belong to himself," said the Vicar.
And as there is a free Exercise of all Persuasions amongst Christians, the Lords-Proprietors, to encourage Ministers of the Church of England, have given free Land towards the Maintenance of a Church, and especially, for the Parish of S. Thomas in Pampticough, over-against the Town, is already laid out for a Glebe of two hundred and twenty three Acres of rich well-situated Land, that a Parsonage-House may be built upon.
And perhaps, if we were to inquire, we should find a similar relation between certain moral ailments and these various occupations, though here in the case of clergymen there would be specific differences: the poor curate, equally with the rector, is liable to clergyman's sore throat, but he would probably be found free from the chronic moral ailments encouraged by the possession of glebe and those higher chances of preferment which follow on having a good position already.
What are you angry about?" asked Miss Van Tuyn through the telephone. Craven intended to make a quietly evasive reply, but he found himself saying: "If I work overtime at the F.O., are there not others who do much the same in Glebe Place?" After a pause Miss Van Tuyn said: "I haven't an idea what you mean." Craven said nothing. Already he was angry with himself, and regretted his impulsiveness.
Nothing ever changed good Mr. Hardinge, who, now that he could command the whole income of his daughter, was just as well satisfied to live on the three or four hundreds he got from his glebe and his parish, as he ever had been in his life. "Welcome back, my dear boy, welcome back!" added Mr. Hardinge, his voice and manner still retaining their fervour.
It was thought, too, that they had racked their estates; that having a life-interest only, they had encumbered them with debts, mortgages, and fines; that in some cases they had wholly alienated lands, of which they had less right to dispose than a modern rector of his glebe.
He had no personal expenses of his own; his wife, though she was a very queer woman, as Lady Clara had said, could hardly be called an extravagant woman; there was nothing large or splendid about the way of living at the glebe; anybody who came there, both he and she were willing to feed as long as they chose to stay, and a good many in this way they did feed; but they never invited guests; and as for giving regular fixed dinner-parties, as parish rectors do in England, no such idea ever crossed the brain of either Mr. or Mrs.
