Marrying Miss Martha (2004)
“They got ready for morning service at the small parish church, certain that, like any newcomers, they would be stared at by the rest of the congregation.
“I shall be interested to see what the minister is like,” Penelope said as they walked across the square. “I hope he’s not too high church.”
They stopped just inside the entrance to study the building, which was very plain inside, but with nicely carved pews and pulpit.
The service was conducted at a brisk pace, with a mere fifteen-minute serm...on and only two hymns.
When they came out, they encountered Mr Wright in the churchyard, with his daughters clustered around him, and he introduced them to some of the other local families. They agreed that the girls could start coming to them immediately after Christmas and sent their regards to Mrs Wright, but it was too cold to linger so they soon set off on the brief walk home.
“Thank goodness there was no sign of the Brindleys today,” Martha said as they opened their own front door.MoreLess
