However, I had better go to him." So Mr.Clavering went.

Cumberly Green was a hamlet in the parish of Clavering, three miles distant from the church, the people of which had got into a wicked habit of going to a dissenting chapel near to them.

By Mr.Saul's energy, but chiefly out of Mr.Clavering's purse, an iron chapel had been purchased for a hundred and fifty pounds, and Mr.Saul proposed to add to his own duties the pleasing occupation of walking to Cumberly Green every Sunday morning before breakfast, and every Wednesday evening after dinner, to perform a service and bring back to the true flock as many of the erring sheep of Cumberly Green as he might be able to catch.

Towards the purchase of this iron church Mr.Clavering had at first given a hundred pounds.

Sir Hugh, in answer to the fifth application, had very ungraciously, through his steward, bestowed ten pounds.
