Quote: What We Expect of Our Pastors

"The Reverend Frank Milvey's abode was a very modest abode., because his his income was a very modest income. He was officially accessible too every blundering old woman who had incoherence to bestow upon him.... He was quite a young man, expensively educated and wretchedly paid, with quite a young wife and half-a-dozen quite young children. He was under the necessity of teaching and translating from the classics, to eke out his scanty means, yet was generally expected to have more time to spare than the idlest person in the parish, and more money than the richest."

-Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend
