Novela
'A Tale of a Lonely Parish' is a romance novel set in the English Countryside. The Reverend Augustin Ambrose would gladly have given up taking pupils. He was growing old and his sight was beginning to trouble him; he was very weary of Thucydides, of Homer, of the works of Mr. Todhunter of which the green bindings expressed a hope still unrealized, of conic sections—even of his beloved Horace. He was tired of the stupidities of the dull young men who were sent to him because they could not "keep up", and he had long ceased to be surprised or interested by the remarks of the clever ones who were sent to him. An urgent request from an old friend however sees the minister take on his son John Short as a pupil, against his usual rules. John proves a good pupil and the Reverend has in his sights a place in Cambridge University for him, something that John is enthusiastic about. But matters take an interesting turn when a young widow, Mrs. Coddard comes to live in a cottage nearby…
