Floss the rains had been continuous,Belstaff Snaefell Bunda, and the completion of the harvest had been arrested. And now, for the last two days, the rains on this lower course of the river had been incessant, so that the old men had shaken their heads and talked of sixty years ago, when the same sort of weather,UGG Casual Czyścibut, happening about the equinox,Manchester City Drakt, brought on the great floods, which swept the bridge away,Lightweight Liddesdale Quilted Bunda, and reduced the town to great misery. But the younger generation, who had seen several small floods, thought lightly of these sombre recollections and forebodings; and Bob Jakin, naturally prone to take a hopeful view of his own luck, laughed at his mother when she regretted their having taken a house by the riverside,Moncler Giorgia, observing that but for that they would have had no boats, which were the most lucky of possessions in case of a flood that obliged them to go to a distance for food.
But the careless and the fearful were alike sleeping in their beds now. There was hope that the rain would abate by the morrow; threatenings of a worse kind, from sudden thaws after falls of snow,Neymar Jr Drakt, had often passed off, in the experience of the younger ones; and at the very worst, the banks would be sure to break lower down the river when the tide came in with violence,International Trials Polarquilt Bunda, and so the waters would be carried off, without causing more than temporary inconvenience,Hampshire Hooded Quilted Bunda, and losses that would be felt only by the poorer sort, whom charity would relieve.

Two days before Maggie received that letter, she had been to the Rectory for the last time. The heavy rain would have prevented her from going since; but there was another reason. Dr. Kenn, at first enlightened only by a few hints as to the new turn which gossip and slander had taken in relation to Maggie, had recently been made more fully aware of it by an earnest remonstrance from one of his male parishioners against the indiscretion of persisting in the attempt to overcome the prevalent feeling in the parish by a course of resistance. Dr. Kenn, having a conscience void of offence in the matter, was still inclined to persevere — was still averse to give way before a public sentiment that was odious and contemptible; but he was finally wrought upon by the consideration of the peculiar responsibility attached to his office,Duvetica Ženy Thiacinque, of avoiding the appearance of evil — an “appearance” that is always dependent on the average quality of surrounding minds.
