Excerpt from Lady Grace: A Novel
A Rustic congregation was pouring out of a rustic church one Sunday afternoon - St. Mary's, in the hamlet of Little Whitton, situated about thirty miles from the metropolis. Great Whitton, some three miles off, was altogether a different affair, for the parish there was more aristocratic than rustic, and the living was worth nine hundred a-year: Little Whitton brought its incumbent in only two hundred, all told. The living of Great Whitton was in the gift of the Earl of Avon, whose seat was on the other side of it. The incumbent of Great Whitton was an old man, almost past duty; the incumbent of Little Whitton was an able and attractive man scarcely thirty, the Reverend Ryle Baumgarten.
