"When I am churchwarden again, I'll see what can be done about the seats; but it's no sort of use, while Ramsden goes on as he does." "Now my poor children are done for!" said Ethel. "They will never come again. And it's horrid, papa; there are lots of town children who wear immense long plaits of hair, and Mrs. Ledwich never interferes with them.
