Excerpt from The Perpetual Curate, Vol. 1 of 3 Minister in Salem Chapel was everything to his little world. That respectable connection would not have hung together half so closely but for this perpetual subject of discussion, criticism, and patronage; and, to compare great things with small, society in Carlingford recognised in some degree the same human want. An enterprising or non-enterprising rector made all the differ ence in the world in Grange Lane; and in the absence of a rector that counted for anything (and poor Mr Proctor was of no earthly use, as everybody knows), it followed, as a natural con sequence, that a great deal of the interest and influence of the position fell into the hands of the Curate of St Roque's.
