Aora, who might be described as his prime minister and treasurer, had received the
tithes as fast as they were paid over, and filled them into large, fine-netted bags of coconut sennit.

tithes. But it was nestled in a snug well-wooded hollow, quite an hour's journey on horseback from any turnpike, where it was never reached by the vibrations of the coach-horn, or of public opinion.

The cleric said the belief in some quarters that God would not bless anyone that does not pay
tithe was a lie.
