"And that roof," said Alice, "she begged Mr. Marshman when the cottage was building, that the roof might be high and pointed; she said her eyes were tired with the low roofs of this country, and if he would have it made so it would be a great relief to them." The odd roof Ellen thought was pretty. But they now reached the door, protected with a deep porch.
I have such a disinclination to writing, and so little leisure for it, that I wished the discussion to be viva voce; it will, however, make little difference, and all I should have to say would be introduced into the letter."

"By whom, I wonder, so much as by me?" said her brother. "However, after to-morrow I will have you all to myself." As he and Ellen were crossing the hall, they met Mrs. Marshman. "Where are you going, John?" said she. "Where I ought to have been before, Ma'am to pay my respects to Mr. Hutchinson." "You've not seen him yet! that is very ungrateful of you.
One writer asserted that this man had contributed "sixteen lakhs of rupees" to the cause of Christ while connected with the Serampore Mission, and the statement was everywhere repeated.

I have one of the best cows that ever you saw; her name is Snow: there is not a black hair upon her; she is all white. Come, Miss Alice; Mr. Marshman sent her to me a month ago; she's a great treasure, and worth looking at."

Claudius Buchanan had published his "Christian Researches," the Life of Schwartz had become known, the labours of Marshman and Carey were reported, and the Legislature at length attended to the representations, made through Archbishop Manners Sutton, by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and consented to sanction the establishment of a branch of the Church, with a Bishop to govern it at Calcutta, and an Archdeacon there and also at Madras and Bombay; the Bishop to have 5,000l. a year but no house, and each Archdeacon 2,000l.
