Explore "Brickett Bottom" by Amyas Northcote on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Reverend Arthur Maydew was the hard-working incumbent of a large parish in one of our manufacturing towns. He was also a student and a man of no strong physique, so that when an opportunity was presented to him to take an annual holiday by exchanging parsonages with an elderly clergyman, Mr. Roberts, the Squarson of the Parish of Overbury, and an acquaintance of his own, he was glad to avail himself of it.
Overbury is a small and very remote village in one of our most lovely and rural counties, and Mr. Roberts had long held the living of it.
