Well, now about the church business.

Take a seat, do.

We can't afford to stand upon ceremony in these parts as you see, and for this reason, that a civilized human being seldom stays long with us; and so we cannot waste time in approaching him, or he will be gone before we have had the pleasure of close acquaintance.

This tower of ours is, as you will notice, entirely gone beyond the possibility of restoration; but the church itself is well enough.

You should see some of the churches in this county.
