Lindi Chase: A Novel (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Lindi Chase: A Novel
The base creatures, who were guilty of such enormities, were too few and too oh scure to cause any trouble or scandal in the dignified church-loving Silverton society. If a bishop did endow a favorite son or son-ia law with an accumulation of somewhat ia compatible preferments, if a reverend' canon did absent himself for a year or two together from Silverton, or hold prefernient with his canonry not strictly tenable with it, leave some of the little churches in the city un served some Sunday evening, because he was engaged to a dinner-party in the country, or indulge in a habit of playing whist deep into Sunday morning; or if a Minor Canon were found hearing the chimes at midnight else where than in his study or his bed, or did chance to get into trouble about sporting without a license, or did stroll into his coun try church to take some odds or ends of sur plies duty 1n his shooting gaiters, while he left his dog and gun in the vestry, - why, there was no chiel amang them to take invidi ous note of these things, much less to dream of printing them In short, the time of which I have been speaking, and am about to Speak, was that good old time, which nous autres who are sur la retour remember so well; and which was so pleasant that it is quite sad to think that it should have been found out to be so naughty!
