'It happened the year after I took the living.

Richard Leyburn was sent for and came.

I never saw such a scene in my life as the funeral supper.

It was kept up in the old style.

Three of Leyburn's sons were there: two of them farmers like himself, one a clerk, from Manchester, a daughter married to a tradesman in Whinborough, a brother of the old man, who was under the table before supper was half over, and so on.
