I have almost finished drafting the notes (c. 1175) for “Jacob’s Room”.  It had never occurred to me until now that *this* was going to be a problem:

“The Wesleyan minister came along and took the younger boy.”

I know that Methodism was very popular in Cornwall, and I’ve kept assuming that I was going to easily find a useful book about it, but I haven’t.  I suppose this optimism prevented me from thinking clearly about the text.

Where has the minister taken Mrs Pascoe’s son?  What for?  Is it schooling?

Why can’t I find anything?!
