Schooled With Briars

Excerpt from Schooled With Briars: A Story of to-Day In Southridge itself you may obtain the best Welsh mutton and the finest English bread, and at a very small cost may fully test all the charms of soli tude for, with the exception of the vicar of the parish and his family, there is not to be found a cultivated intellect within the range of the parish. How the Rev. James Harvey could have reconciled himself to existence in a place so utterly remote from the world, was and still remains a puzzle to all the friends of his younger days probably if he himself could have felt and thought at his age of fifty as he did when he left Oxford, he too would be as much puzzled as his friends. Fortunately for himself his mind was of too healthy a nature to do anything of the kind. His parish afforded him ample occupa tion and his own family sufficient society indeed of him it might honestly be said.
