The pew is worn from many years of being sat on during services.  It looks fairly basic upon first glance.  But there is something just under the surface, something moving.

a rat chews on a dropped hymnbook
organist
I am an organist. I lead a very lucky life. I play the organ in a huge church. The Catholic church gives me money to live and a warm bed to sleep in.
Give me back my hymnbook you dirty rat! Ha! Finders keepers! And I have to say, it's delicious! Well you shan't have this bible then! Perhaps not, but these papers are mine, too. They will make a great nest. Well, god does want his creatures to be happy, even lowly filthy ones such as yourself. See... we can be friends! And besides, these are just papers. I need a nest for my babies. Maybe you could use some hay instead? Yes, perhaps. Do you have any hay? I'll give you your papers back if you find me hay. But the hymnal is mine! Outside, behind the church.  Where the cats like to play. Outside? You're saying you want me to live outside? Do I look like an outdoors rat? Maybe?  What makes inside and outdoors rats different? I need a warm place to stay, a place where I don't have to fear predators hurting my babies.
