But he avers that he never knew them much, never haunted cathedral towns at all, but got up the costume and technical points, trusting to his knowledge of human nature at large ; investing it, so to speak, with a white tie. The statement need not be doubted ; but the task was easier when he left out religion. His contemporary Miss Yonge moves in another world, and in this context mention may be made of the Rev. Francis Paget, whose odd little sketches, The Warden of Berkingholt (1843) and The O...wlet of Owlstone Edge reveal a Trollope-like particularity, much piety, and some pleasantry. The parson's wife, ' whose maiden name was Wire, ' and her ' general effect hard, stringy, and tough, ' and who ' ate buttered crumpets in a strong- minded way, ' is a type. Trollope differs in a piquant way from his mother, Frances Trollope (1780-1860), in his depiction of the clergy. She, in her tale The Vicar of Wrexhill (1837), introduces an outrageous Evangelical cleric, a Mr. Cartwright, Tartuffian and Pecksniffian, an inveigler of widows, an oppres- sor of step-children, a caricature.
