On the Fast Day fists were shaken at Mr.Dishart as he walked sternly homewards, but he was undismayed.

Next day there were no services in the kirk, for Auld Lichts could not afford many holidays, but they weaved solemnly, with Saturday and the Sabbath and Monday to think of.

On Saturday service began at two and lasted until nearly seven.

Two sermons were preached, but there was no interval.

The sacrament was dispensed on the Sabbath.
