The home of a clergyman is constantly judged by its parishioners. If it is too large and richly decorated, it is the subject of jealousy. If it is too small and humble, it is the subject of scorn.

If it is slovenly, it is the subject of disgust.: Laura Moncur (1969 - ), The Secret Heart of Charlotte Lucas, 2014

Our mind can fathom his honesty and honor.: Laura Moncur (1969 - ), The Secret Heart of Charlotte Lucas, 2014
