Passage Illustrated
Just in front of them, and a short distance from the church, the road they were following joined the main highway leading up from Eglosilyan, and along the latter Mrs. Trelyon's brougham was driving past. The lady was very much astonished to find her son walking with Miss Wenna Rosewarne on a Sunday morning; and still more surprised when, after she was in church, she beheld Master Harry walk cooly in and march up to the family pew. [Chapter XIII, "An Unexpected Convert," p. 103 in the 1892 edition]
