Westways

CHAPTER XI
16/39

I am to try the barber's assistant I have brought from the mills to shave me, and what is more important--Westways.

I have put him in our poor old Josiah's shop." They went together to Pole's, and returning she stopped before the barn-like building where Grace gathered on Sundays a scant audience to hear the sermons which Rivers had told him had too much heart and too little head.
"What is it ?" asked Penhallow.
"I have heard, James, that their chapel (she never called it church) is leaking--the roof, I mean.

Could not you pay for a new roof ?" "Of course, my dear--of course.

It can't cost much.

I will see Grace about it." "Thank you, James." On no account would she now have done this herself.
She was out of touch for the time with the whole business of politics, and to have indulged her usual gentle desire to help others would have implied obligation on the part of the Baptist to accept her wish that he should vote and use his influence for Buchanan.
