Explore "The Vicar of Bullhampton" by Anthony Trollope on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On the Thursday in Passion week, which fell on the 6th of April, Mr. and Mrs. Quickenham came to Bullhampton Vicarage. The lawyer intended to take a long holiday -- four entire days -- and to return to London on the following Tuesday; and Mrs. Quickenham meant to be very happy with her sister.
"It is such a comfort to get him out of town, if it's only for two days," said Mrs. Quickenham; "and I do believe he has run away this time without any papers in his portmanteau."
