Daughters of the Vicar

Mr Lindley was first vicar of Aldecross. The cottages of this tiny hamlet had nestled in peace since their beginning, and the country folk had crossed the lanes and farm-lands, two or three miles, to the parish church at Greymeed, on the bright Sunday mornings. But when the pits were sunk, blank rows of dwellings started up beside the high roads, and a new population, skimmed from the floating scum of workmen, was filled in, the cottages and the country people almost obliterated.

Domnul Lindley a fost primul vicar al Aldecross. Cabanele acestui mic catun s-au cuibarit in liniste de la inceputurile lor, iar oamenii de la tara au traversat benzile si terenurile fermei, la doua sau trei mile, pana la biserica parohiala din Greymeed, in diminetile luminoase de duminica.
