A Sunday at Castlewood.
The second day after Harry's arrival at Castlewood was a Sunday.

The chapel appertaining to the castle was the village church.

A door from the house communicated with a great state pew which the family occupied, and here after due time they all took their places in order, whilst a rather numerous congregation from the village filled the seats below.

A few ancient dusty banners hung from the church roof; and Harry pleased himself in imagining that they had been borne by retainers of his family in the Commonwealth wars, in which, as he knew well, his ancestors had taken a loyal and distinguished part.
