"The room was soon filled with a motley assemblage, from the old gray-headed patriarch of eighty, to the young girl and lad of fifteen. A little harmless gossip ensued on various themes... A few of the worshippers belonged to families hard by, who had got permission to attend, and who brought in various choice scraps of information, about the saying and doings at the house and on the place, which circulated as freely as the same sort of small change does in higher circles."
"Uncle Tom's Cabin"
