“I’m told it isn’t. That’s what led to the trouble last evening.”
“What trouble, Miss Chichester?”
“Why, the trouble at the vestry meeting. Hasn’t Mr. Farrar told you about it?”
“Not a word. He rarely tells me about unpleasant happenings; they worry me so. What was the trouble at the vestry meeting?”
“Perhaps I ought not to tell you, either.”
“Oh, I suppose I’ll hear about it sooner or later; you might as well tell me.” She settled herself back in her chair with a sigh.
“Well, they all got into a dreadful quarrel.”
“Is it possible? What about?”
“About free pews. Mr. Farrar wanted the pews declared free, and they all opposed him but Mr. Emberly and Mr. Hazzard.”
