The Bishop was in his garden, surrounded by the Clergy of his diocese / and their wives. He was a grey-haired man, upright and spare of build. / His face was full of kindness and love as he went among his guests, / entering into their difficulties and encouraging them in their work.
It was his annual garden party, and he looked forward to it almost as / much as did his clergy. Being a widower, had it not been for his work / he would have felt the Palace lonely. It was an old and hoary building, / and lay in the shadow of the cathedral; but the greater part of the / garden was full of sunshine, and wherever the Bishop was, there was / brightness and the atmosphere of love and fellowship.
