This morning he signalled across : `` Letter from Connie . Message for you . I mean to deliver it personally . Do you ever go to church ? '' Now , I do go regularly to church at home . But Aunt Martha and Mrs. Saxby are both such rigid church people that they would not darken the doors of the Methodist church at Plover Sands for any consideration . Needless to say , I am not allowed to go either . But it was impossible to make this long explanation , so I merely replied : `` Not here . '' `` Will you not go tomorrow morning ? '' `` Aunt will not let me . '' `` Coax her . '' `` Coaxing never has any effect on her . '' `` Would she relent if Mrs. Allardyce were to call for you ? '' Now , I have been cautiously sounding Aunt about Mrs. Allardyce , and I have discovered that she disapproves of her . So I said : `` It would be useless .
