Lady Vernon filled the role of the Christian matron with punctilious completeness. She had her great charities and her small; her tens of thousands to bestow, and her sixpences; her influential committees and powerful societies, and her grumbling and querulous old women in their garretts. She would make a flannel petticooat or build a church. Lady Vernon bore herself to all her friends and acquaintances as an unexceptionable type of Christian life. She would tell herself, as she meditated in her solitude, that she could not remember ever having acted, in a single instance, contrary to her conscience. Lady Vernon had violated authority a little once or twice. She and authority had differed. But who was right, she or authority? Need I say?
