He looks Church personified when officiating, but is quite a jolly person really, especially since he retired. More relaxed, enjoying life, his wife told me. More time, and certainly they would pay visits to the Orms when somebody mentioned the case to them. Neglected for too long, it is true. In fact they paid them a visit immediately and another one soon after. \u201cSo that\u2019s what it is\u2026And he doesn\u2019t know. How awful,\u201d the Churchwarden\u2019s wife said, \u201cmy husband went again. Mr Orms was down.\u201d Then the pleasing news that \u201che cheered him up\u201d. \u201cAnd how is your daughter getting on with her little job?\u201d My daughter had started working for Miss Felix. The Churchwarden cuts the grass for Miss Felix and knowing that she was looking for somebody told her he knew of a suitable young girl.<\/p>\n
I was surprized to hear the little story when I had a chat with him recently. I didn\u2019t know he was quite so friendly, he never showed it. Recommending my daughter, with me having left choir, church and all\u2026However, he said my children were friendly and polite, one of them even waving to him \u2013 so he said to Miss Felix she might like to try that girl. He was very pleased to hear the deal had come off. You want to give these youngsters a chance, don\u2019t you. Another friend of mine, a lady-friend this time, had also recommended my daughter to Miss Felix. My daughter owed her good luck to this lady in fact. It turned out Miss Felix couldn\u2019t remember the Churchwarden having said anything about her. It doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s the good intention that counts.<\/p>\n
Aunt Maisie isn\u2019t very keen on the Churchwarden. He used to collect the rent. \u201cWhat a rude person,\u201d she complained, \u201cno manners. Keeping his hat on all the time he was in my house.\u201d She didn\u2019t care twopence for him.<\/p>\n
Mr Orms who is back from hospital remarked that the Churchwarden does too much talking. \u201cHe makes me quite sick and tired,\u201d he said, and Mrs Orms added: \u201cStaying too long, too, keeping us from having our meal on time.\u201d She did give him that he was well-intentioned\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
