Three tales from one English parish. A curate loses the wife who held his life together, a gruff old vicar turns out to have loved and buried a girl from the great house, and a lawyer's wife drinks until an unwelcome preacher saves her.

Blessed influence of one true loving human soul on another!
Scenes of Clerical Life, George Eliot
