From the first moment of his coming much about Clavering Rectory the only question had been about his income.

"I don't think Mr.Saul ever said a word to me except about the poor people and the church services," said Fanny.

"That was merely his way," said Mrs.
Clavering.

"Then he must be a goose," said Fanny.

"I am very sorry if I have made him unhappy, but he had no business to come to me in that way." "I suppose I shall have to look for another curate," said the Rector.
But this was said in private to his wife.
"I don't see that at all," said Mrs.Clavering.
