Everything was in a fearful mess after her absence* The church
420 A Clergyman's Daughter
was dirty beyond all belief-in fact, Dorothy had had to spend the best part of a
day cleaning up with scrubbing-brushes, broom and dustpan, and the beds of
‘mouse dirts’ that she had found behind the organ made her wince when she
thought of them (The reason why the mice came there was because Georgie
Frew, the organ-blower, would bring penny packets of biscuits into church and
eat them during the sermon ) All the Church associations had been neglected,
with the result that the Band of Hope and the Companionship of Marriage had
now given up the ghost, Sunday School attendance had dropped by half, and
there was internecine warfare going on in the Mothers’ Union because of some
tactless remark that Miss Foote had made The belfry was m a worse state than
ever The parish magazine had not been delivered regularly and the money for
it had not been collected None of the accounts of the Church Funds had been
properly kept up, and there was nineteen
shillings
unaccounted for m all, and
even the pansh registers were m a muddle-and so on and so on, ad infinitum
The Rector had let everymg slide
Dorothy had been up to her eyes m work from the moment of reaching
home Indeed, things had slipped back into their old routine with astonishing
swiftness.
