Sunday was a great day in Innisfield; for there, as in all Puritan communities, religion was the central and engrossing idea. As the bell rang for service, every ear in town heard it, and all who were not sick or kept at home by the care of young children turned their steps towards the house of God.

The stage-coach that conveyed the next morning's mail to Innisfield carried Hugh Branning as a passenger.
