They spoke of the sewing circle and the reading society and the Friday-evening meetings.
"The Come-Outers are so vexed with us," tittered Miss Annabel, "that they won't even hold prayer meeting on the same night as ours.

They have theirs on Thursday nights and it's as good as a play to hear them shout and sing and carry on.

You'll enjoy the Come-Outers, Mr.Ellery.

They're a perfect delight." And as they rose to go Captain Elkanah asked: "Is there anything you'd like done about the parsonage, Mr.Ellery?
If so, it shall be done immejitly.

How are you satisfied with your housekeeper ?" "Very well, indeed, Captain Daniels," was the prompt reply.
"She's a character, isn't she ?" giggled Annabel.
