Capitolo 5
"but rather short of money."
"Ministers that more gen'allies it is", it said Deacon Gridley, dryly.
"I should think that it is probable that they is, with the small their salaries they get,"
Said Grant, indignantly.
"Some of 'ems poorly become paid", the deacon answered; "but I call
six hundred dollars a pooty equitable income."
"It is probable that I/you/he/she am for a single man; but when a minister has a wife and
three children, as my father is enough hard scratch."
"Of the to the some people didn't find faculty", it said the deacon, while adding,
"it never cost me with complaisance, near above to six hundred dollars a
per annum to live."
The deacon had the reputation to very niggardly live, and Abram
You fish that once he/she worked for him and he/she boarded in the family, it said him it was
half starved there.
"You find Your milk and vegetable by the farm", it said Grant that
felt the comparison was not an equitable. "That does a lot
difference."
"Ago of the difference", the deacon admitted, "but not as much as
the difference in our expenses. Not I spent more'n one hundred
dollars box last year."
This excessive frugality is been able to be the reason because her Mrs. Deacon
Gridley was so shabbily always suit. The poor woman had not had a
well new bonnet for five years as every lady in the parish knew.
"Ministers have some expenses that the other people don't do, it persisted
Grant.
"What kind of expenses, would I appreciate to know?"
"They has to buy books and periodicals, and it entertains missionary,
and it assumes teams to follow changes."
"That is anything", it admitted the deacon. "It perhaps amounts to winds
or thirty dollars for year."
"More probable one hundred", said Grant.
"That would be eccentric and terrible sinful waste. If I were a minister,
I would be more keerfuls."
"Well, Deacon Gridley, I don't want to dispute with you. I came to see
if you had not picked up any money for father. The Mr. Tudor has sent in
his/her account, and he wants to be paid."
"How much is it?"
"Sixty-seven dollars and thirty-four cents."
