I think he looks worse and worse every week, and I only wish I knew his sister; I would write to her about him.
Tryan's hearers were confined to Paddiford Common which, by the by, was hardly recognizable as a common at all, but was a dismal district where you heard the rattle of the handloom, and breathed the smoke of coal-pits the 'canting parson' could be treated as a joke.
