His son, also called Thomas, was probably the Mr Fuller who had his windows broken at Christmas and his watch stolen while engaged in the privy.  Ever careful, he used to hang it in the window while inside.  This Mr Fuller seems to have taken his position quite seriously.  He tended to lay down the law at times, for example getting out warrants against poachers, whose identity he well knows.  George Finch, the carpenter and lady-killer, receives a ban from Aston Farm, because the female servants never get anything done.  Mr Fuller sees himself as the champion of Meeting, holding singing practice to combat the inroads made by George Noad’s competition.  He could see the danger lurking deep within his house.  One of his daughters, Martha, remarked that, after the arrival of clever Mr Noad, who had installed a stove in the church, it would be better for the Dissenters to abandon Meeting and go to church.  If such treachery did not suffice, he gradually realises that his second eldest daughter, Jane, has attracted the eye of George Noad for an entirely different reason.  For some time, Mr Fuller remains firm and life becomes difficult for Mr Noad and also for his intended.  Eventually, love prevails, but at the cost of Jane Fuller going to live in Hull, where Mr Noad now teaches.  In fact, it was George Finch who began to spread the word that Jane and Mr Noad might become a couple, but to those who attended the leaving party thrown for Mr Noad’s sister it became obvious.  Mr Noad and Jane Fuller played backgammon, a game designed for two, all evening long.  To everybody except her father they made the perfect couple.  She is quite the little creature by the side of him Charlotte Slade noted at Kezia’s birthday party.

Perhaps because a doctor cured people’s body rather than their soul, Mr Fuller put up no fight against his eldest daughter Martha marrying John Breach, the surgeon.  As Mrs Fuller observed, he is a well-educated young man with an excellent practice and a very nice house in Thorpe.
