A Broken Promise in Salford's Quiet Parsonage
In Salford a historical town known for its churches and gossip, Miss Polly recalls a broken promise to an old lover, Mr. Ralph Blenkinsop. The narrator details St Johns, St Marys, and the curious social orbit of Campbell and Marden, Polly's past romance, and the pull of a long‑ago vow that resurfaces during a modern deputation visit.
