Parsons, following with the muffin-dish and the urn, voiced a genera! opinion in the look she cast upon his round back and shaky legs. It was not in the least as if Fry had grown old in the use of the family. He had applied for the situation, with his dyed whiskers and stuffed calves, only two months before, and to criticism of his suitability on the score of age my mother-in-law would only reply that he came with an excellent character and had more than one dependent on him. Between the trees on the far side of the glebe meadows one could see the church spire; it is the view from Burroughs my mother-in-law is immensely proud of it. It is another little joke to tell her that she is content with the view, since she has driven all the way to Cobbhampton on Sundays ever since the day when she and Frances walked out of church for reasons connected with the vicars sermon. Some rooks were talking in the elms behind the stables Frances says the rooks made life in the country unbearable with their noise and the roof of the carters van moved along the top of the red-brick wall between the rose garden and the road. Should you like to tell her? Kaye said to me. No indeed, thank you, I said, and we both laughed. My mother-in-law greeted us without putting down her knitting. She looked very pink and very placid, as if she had spent the whole morning in the village doing good, very unsuspicious Frances had more flair, as usual. Whatever youve got to say you might as well say at once, she remarked. Frances is my mother-in-law sniece and the daughter of a bishop.
