Fishermen passed us who might well have been characters like Peggotty; we went into a musty curiosity shop and bought pipe-stoppers carved into figures from Pickwick. The evening was settling down between all the buildings with that slow gold that seems to soak everything when we went into the church.
The curios include tobacco jars, spill cups, and ash trays; and there are also brass and copper spittoons and pipe racks.
