Scenes of Clerical Life, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
Scenes of Clerical Life Vol 1 - Classic Reprint Author:George Eliot SHEPPERTON Church was a very different-looking building five-and-twenty years ago. To be sure, its su ntia s one tower looks at you through its intelligent eye, the clock, ,with the friendly expression of fonder days; but in everything else what changes I N o,v there is a wide span of slated roof flanking the old steeple; the windows are tall an... more »d symmetrical; the outer doors are resplendent ,vith oak-graining, the inner doors reverentially noiseless with a gannent of red baize; and the walls, you are convinced, no lichen will ever again effect tl. settlement on, - they are smooth and innutrient as the sumnlit of the Rev. AMOS Barton's head, after ten years of baldness and supererogatory soap. Pass through the baize doors and you will see the nave filled with vellsha ped benches understood to be free seats; vhile in certain eligible corners, less directly under the fire of the clergyman's eye, there are pews reserved for the Shepperton . gentility.
