He had travelled about and found Rummelsburg peculiarly fitted for his enterprise. There was a most civil old Lutheran clergyman there, to whom he had made himself peculiarly acceptable.
However, there's the Rummelsburg marriage, and if you send to Rummelsburg you'll find that it's all right, a little white church up a corner, with a crooked spire. The old clergyman is, no doubt, dead, but I should imagine that they would keep their registers."
It would have cost a couple of hundred pounds, but the estate can bear that. We can have him by sending for him, if we should want it."
