Little Lord Fauntleroy Summary: Chapter 7

In Chapter 7, Lord Fauntleroy went to his grandfather’s church for the first time. It was a large congregation that morning, for those who normally didn’t go went in hopes of seeing, meeting, and learning more of their future Earl. The onlookers who remembered Ceddie’s father exclaimed, “He’s the Captain over again!” Once Ceddie and his grandfather, Earl of Dorincourt, were seated Ceddie discovered his mother was in sight and two stone carved figures. On the tablet by them this was written: “Here lyeth ye bodye of Gregorye Arthure Fyrst Earle of Dorincourt allsoe of Alisone Hildegarde hys wyfe.” The little lord thought he might have got his spelling from them. Later Ceddie told his grandfather something Dearest had tol him the previous day. Then Mr. Higgins came to thank Ceddie for becoming his “landlord.” Finally, Fauntleroy jumped in the carriage and it rolled down the green lane.
