For the servants and dependents of the vicarage were staunch to the interests of the church establishment, with a degree of fervour of which the Vicar himself knew nothing. They hated Puddleham and dissent. This groom would have liked nothing better than a commission to punch the head of Mr.
Puddleham, the Methodist minister in the village. It was not only that Mr. Trumbull had been murdered.
But when he thought of it, he did not see that any remedy was open to him on that side. In the meantime Mr. Puddleham attacked Grimes with great severity because the work was not continued. Mr. Puddleham, feeling that he had the Marquis at his back, was eager for the fight.
Bolt, who on this occasion found it to be impossible to refuse to give an authority which a lord demanded from him, the demolition of the building had been commenced. Before the first Sunday came any use of the new chapel for divine service was already impossible. On that day Mr. Puddleham preached a stirring sermon about tabernacles in general.
"Mary," he said, "if love will beget love, I think that you must love me at last." "I will love you," she said, pressing his arm still more closely. But even then she could not bring herself to tell him that she did love him.

"Why, they are not going to leave us a single soul to go to church. Mr. Puddleham means to make a clean sweep of the parish." "You don't mean to say that any have left you?" "Well; none as yet," replied Mrs.
"Grimes," the Vicar said, "I'm not quite sure that I like this." "Well, sir; no, sir. I was thinking myself, sir, that maybe you might take it unkind in the Marquis." "I think I shall write to him. Perhaps you wouldn't mind giving over for a day or two." Grimes yielded at once, and took his spade and measurements away, although Mr. Puddleham fretted a good deal. Mr.
Many others from the village were there, so that there was quite a public meeting on the bit of ground which had been appropriated to Mr. Puddleham's preachings. Fenwick, as soon as he saw Lord St. George, accosted him before he spoke to the others. "My friend Mr. Puddleham," said he, "seems to have the benefit of a distinguished congregation this morning."
