"Of course it's a little soon." After dinner at the Wheelers', when Walter Wheeler had gone to a vestry meeting, Bassett delivered himself to Margaret of a highly indignant harangue on the situation in general. "That's how I see it," he finished. "He's done a fine thing. A finer thing by a damned sight than I'd do, or any of this town. He's given up money enough to pay the national debt or nearly.
Last time you dressed a number of your choir-boys in red cassocks." "The servers, you mean, my lord?" "Whatever you call them, they wear red cassocks, red slippers, and red skull caps. That I really cannot stand. You must put them into black cassocks and leave their caps and slippers in the vestry cupboard.
Of our kneeling down together, side by side; of Dora's trembling less and less, but always clasping Agnes by the hand; of the service being got through, quietly and gravely; of our all looking at each other in an April state of smiles and tears, when it is over; of my young wife being hysterical in the vestry, and crying for her poor papa, her dear papa.
He had been in treaty with the Church at Poughkeepsie for some time, and visited and officiated in it before he was in Holy Orders.

Within the communion rails, there is a rich carpet, in needlework, made by some of the members of the congregation, At each side there is as antique chair, being part of the furniture in the vestry which adjoins, and which was given by the Rev.

There has been no attempt to bait an ecclesiastical hook to catch the masses. We have tried to make men think and to act on their best thought. This venture in ecclesiology is not the democratization of a church. It is the leadership of a rector Mr. Grant is an ecclesiastical statesman he has a strong cabinet in his vestry.
Had the doctor by any chance repented? "Where is he?" he asked. "In the vestry room," said the other; and the boy went there. The instant he entered, Dr. Vince sprang to his feet. "Samuel," he cried vehemently, "this thing has got to stop!" "What thing, Dr. Vince?" "Your conduct is beyond endurance, boy you are driving me to distraction!" "What have I done now, sir?"
They divided the vestry fourteen times on a motion for heating the church with warm water instead of coals: and made speeches about liberty and expenditure, and prodigality and hot water, which threw the whole parish into a state of excitement.

And yet Eliza had longed to see him, for she had been uneasy on his account; she had feared lest he should still suffer gravely from the consequences of his wound.
