Before this gentleman must be laid, both for purse and conscience' sake, the case of the child just come out of the fogs.
And true it was that all these powers were centred in one famous man, known among the laity as "Parson Upandown." For the Reverend Turner Upround, to give him his proper name, was a doctor of divinity, a justice of the peace, and the present rector of Flamborough.

Of all his offices and powers, there was not one that he overstrained; and all that knew him, unless they were thorough-going rogues and vagabonds, loved him.

Not that he was such a soft-spoken man as many were, who thought more evil; but because of his deeds and nature, which were of the kindest.

He did his utmost, on demand of duty, to sacrifice this nature to his stern position as pastor and master of an up-hill parish, with many wrong things to be kept under.
