It's me as is to blame, said the worthy deacon.

If it hadn't have been as the pastor wouldn't pass the door without coming in, I'd not have had him here to-day; and if you women would think, you'd see. We're stanch--and Mr. Vincent ain't no call to trouble himself about us; but Pigeon and them, you see, as went off in a huff yesterday--that's what the minister has got to do. You shan't be kep' no longer, sir, in my house. Duty afore pleasure, that's my maxim. Good mornin', and I hope as you won't meet with no unpleasantness; but if you should, Mr. Vincent, don't be disheartened, sir--we'll pull you through.
