About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Aggesden Vicarage, or Bridget Storey's First Charge, Vol. 2 of 2: A Tale for the Young

Vicar's relief, parted the brothers and, before eleven came, Frank was off for Massing with Harry, to get a cricket-ball, and did not return till dinner, about which time came such a heavy shower of rain that trees and earth were drenched, and, though soon afterwards it ceased, the brightness of the day was over and the air chill and damp after the 'late heat. From his study the Vicar heard some angry, sullen words pass in the garden between the two boys, and then John went by the window alone.

As soon as his sermon was finished, the Vicar was meaning to go to Massing himself; but some how he did not quite like leaving the two boys behind him, and so looked into the drawing-room to say, as he had done twenty times before, these holidays.
