I liked this little old-fashioned story. A country curate is ambling through life, doing a wonderful job at his calling, but he lacks any ambition. This is not important to him, but we soon see how important it is to those who are depending on him. He marries twice, and is left with two teen daughters and then two little twin boys. Because of the system in those days, when his parish is given over to another, he is out of a job, and there is nothing anyone can do. Even the kind gentleman who has been given the rectorship cannot help him. The story resolves sweetly, and I can only complain that the story ends too soon and we are not given a more full resolution. I assume that the author had an opinion about the church system of supplying ministers in those days, and perhaps wanted it to be changed.
