Synopsis
The director is Septimus Harding, the kind and senior director of Hiram Hospital and the predecessor of the fictional Chester Cathedral in Bursetshire County.
Hiram Hospital is a hospice supported by the Medieval Charitable Foundation of the Parish of Burchester. The income supports the hospice itself, allows 12 people to sleep, and provides its director with a comfortable place to live and live. Mr. Harding was appointed to this post under the auspices of an old friend of the Bishop of Burchester, who was also the father of Archbishop Grantley, who married Susan, the eldest daughter of Harding. The principal, who lives with his remaining son, the unmarried girl Eleanor, is performing his duties in good faith.
Harding when a passionate young reformer, John Bold, launched a campaign to uncover the disparity in the distribution of charitable income between his sleeping subject and his employee, Mr. Harding. And a story about its impact on the community. John Bold embarked on this campaign in the spirit of public affairs, despite his romantic relationship with Eleanor and his previous close relationship with Mr. Harding. Bold filed a complaint and Mr Harding was advised by his indomitable lawyer Dr Grantley to stick to his position.
Bold sought media support and wrote a pro-philanthropic reform op-ed for publisher Tom Towers, describing Mr. Harding as selfish and neglecting his actions in his office. Jupiter (Times) caught the attention of). This image was provided by commentators Dr Pessimist Anticant and Popular Sentiment, which are respectively considered caricatures of Thomas Carlyle and Charles Dickens.
After all, despite numerous threats from his son-in-law, the Archbishop, and legal advice sought by lawyer Sir Abraham Hafazzard, Mr. Harding continued to receive those rewards conscientiously. Resign from the office. John Bold, who unsuccessfully appealed to Tom Towers to repair the damage to Mr Harding, returned to Burchester to marry Eleanor after breaking legal proceedings.
Those who wanted to increase their income to stay away from the principal were scolded by Vance, the oldest member who was always loyal to Harding. At the end of the novel, the bishop decides that the guardianship of the Hiram Hospital remains vacant, and that none of the waiters are offered additional money despite the vacancy. Meanwhile, Harding had become a pastor in St. Cuthbert, a small parish near Close Church, has a much lower income than it used to be.
