People say the curate, Mr. Chichester, who often preaches in the evening, is making a great effect, completely cutting out his rector.

Better he had to be whipped for stealing! said the curate.

And at all events I can wait, said the curate.

I thought you were the great supporter of early closing in Glaston, said the curate.

We must keep on their track, said the curate.

Lestrange, you may trust that man! said the curate.

'But I don't think Miss Violetta is like her mother,' said the curate.

"Thank you," said the curate, and leaned back again in his seat.

"You seem in haste, friends," said the curate, with an urbane smile.

"I am sorry to hear your fiancée is ill," said the curate.

When he followed her into the room, "This is Mr. Polwarth, Leopold," said the curate, rising respectfully.

"He is a man of education, as you see," said the curate.

"Could you trust me with the manuscript, Mr. Polwarth?" said the curate.

'Yes,' said the curate vaguely, for he did not know what else to say.

"Wasn't it something like that David wanted to be?" said the curate.

'Oh, yes,' said the curate, 'all that was very sad.'
