Ith Mr Prothero going to Tht
Jameth'th?'
'You shall ask him yourself; I daresay he will like you to seem
interested.'
'Are you going to Tht Jameth'th, Mr Prothero?' inquired Miss Nugent,
when that young man entered the room shortly after.
'I beg your pardon, I do not quite understand what you mean.'
'Mith Gwynne thaid you were going to a London curacy; I thought it might
be Tht Jameth'th.'
'I believe not. If I go to London I shall probably be in the city--a
very different locality to St James's.'
'Oh! when we are in town we alwayth go to Tht Jameth'th, it ith thuch a
nice church.'
Freda perceived that Miss Nugent's interest fell as soon as she found
that Rowland was going into the city. She also saw a smile lurking about
Rowland's mouth when he said,--
'I have never been in London; but I suppose St James's is one of the
fashionable parts.'
'Oh yeth, very. Numberth of grand people go to Tht Jameth'th; don't you
with you were going to be curate there instead of the thity?'
Rowland was grave in a moment.
'I should wish to labour wherever there is the largest field to work in,
Miss Nugent, whether in the city or St James's.'
'Yeth, to be sure, I believe there are loths of poor people in Tht
Jameth'th.
