On the Saturday evening only Sneyd and Mrs Lovatt came up to Hillport, Enoch Lovatt being away from home. Therefore there were no cards; they talked of the Eardley affair. "You'll have to manage with the old organ now," was one of the first things that Peake said to Mrs Lovatt, after he had recited his own woe. He smiled grimly as he said it. "I don't see why," Sneyd remarked.
It was to the credit of Bursley that the whole town recognized in Sarah Sutton the treasure it held. "I wanted to see you," Mrs Sutton said, after they had exchanged various inquiries. "What about?" "Mrs Lovatt was telling me yesterday you hadn't made up your mind about that organ subscription."
Outside yourself, and Lovatt, and one or two more, is there a single manufacturer in Bursley that knows how he stands? Is there one of them that knows whether he's making money or losing it? Look at prices; can they go lower? And secret discounts; can they go higher? And all this affects the colliery-owners. I shouldn't like to tell you the total of my book-debts; I don't even care to think of it.
You may say what you like about Titus Blackhurst I know there's a good many that don't like him but he's a real good sort. I'm sure he's the best Sunday School superintendent we ever had.

Everybody of course knew that `something had happened' to the successful steam-printer. "Can we see Mr Lovatt?" Edwin demanded curtly. He was abashed and he was resentful. The cashier jumped on all his springs into a sudden activity of deference. Presently the manager emerged from the glazed door of his room, pulling his long whiskers. "Oh, Mr Lovatt," Edwin began nervously.
Well, auntie, who's the ninth subscriber?" "Ah, that's the point," said Enoch Lovatt. "The ninth isn't forthcoming." Mrs Lovatt looked straight at her sister's husband. "We want you to be the ninth," she said. "Me!" He laughed heartily, perceiving a broad humour in the suggestion. "Oh, but I mean it," Mrs Lovatt insisted earnestly.
Have they told you about the new organ? We're quite full of it at our house." "No," said Peake, "they haven't." "What!" she cried reproachfully. "You haven't told him, Enoch nor you, Nan?" "Upon my word it never entered my head," said Mrs Peake. "Well, Uncle Peake," Mrs Lovatt began, "we're going to have a new organ for the Conference." "Not before it's wanted," said Peake.
