Tom's Magnificent Chruchgoing Experience

My second post is coming up...

This post will be discussing the experience Tom had at church the first time.

I am wondering, did Aunt Polly attend as well? I did not seem to read anything about her presence. I only read about Tom.

Also, how long did these services usually last? The book was written in a way that made it seem like they only lasted approximately 10 minutes, but I have a feeling they lasted a little, if not a lot, longer that that.

In addition, I do not undertsand the whole tickets fiasco. You know, blue tickets, red tickets, yellow tickets, etc. Would someone kindly refresh me on what they do and why a boy would want to trade them away (as 10 red tickets equal a blue one, 10 blue ones equal a yellow one, so they are all really equal in the end)? I know that Tom got a Bible or summat (tawkin' a li-ole eye-wrish heea) for having a certain amount of tickets, then he had to recite verses or something. So really, he didn't have to memorize the two thousand verses that Mary did, he could have just had the tickets. And the adults must be knowing what is going on, if ticket-trading is "illegal". I mean, it seems like they were doing it in the open, in front of everyone (the trading of tickets, I mean.) Oh, and I apologize for the lack of clarity in some parts of this post. Bye. :o)
