Updated: January 10, 2026

Abel was a solid, pear-shaped man, who passed through life bent double over the acre of Vicarage garden, to which he committed long lines of seeds, which an attentive Providence brought up in due season as "curly kebbidge" or "salary" or "sparrow-grass." Abel had his back towards Hester, and only the corduroy half of him was visible as he stooped over his work.
