Sunday at Home (From ‘Twice Told Tales’) 

‘Sunday at Home (From ‘Twice Told Tales’)’ by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short vignette story that follows the narrator as he comments on the goings on at the church across the street from his home. During the week, he notices a lonely nature in the church that seems to come alive for Sunday service as he takes note of the variety of characters that head up the steps to form the congregation each week.
