''The squire's big, square pew used

fireplace in it, and If the sermon was
too long, the squire would poke the
fire impatiently as a hint for the

"Some sQuires had liveried mental
to serve wine and cake half way
through the sermon, and also to bring
them their mail and newspapers, which
they would read during the discourse.
"Once an unusually luxurious
