e sake of explaining that she
has got nothing to do with the school. No doubt the boys are under the
same roof with her. Will your boy's morals be the worse? It seems that
Gustavus Momson's will. You know the father; do you not? I wonder
whether anything will ever affect his morals?

"Now, I have told you everything. Not that I have doubted you; but, as
you have been told so much, I have thought it well that you should have
the whole story from myself. What effect it may have upon the school I do
not know. The only boy of whose secession I have yet heard is young
Momson. But probably there will be others. Four new boys were to have
come, but I have already heard from the father of one that he has changed
his mind. I think I can trace an acquaintance between him and Mother
Shipton. If the body of the school should leave me I will let you know at
once as you might not like to leave your boy under such circumstances.

"You may be sure of this, that here the lady remains until her husband
returns. I am not going to be turned from my purpose at this time of day
by anything that Mother Shipton may say or do.--Yours always,

"JEFFREY WORTLE."

MR. PUDDICOMBE'S BOOT.

IT was not to be expected that the matter should be kept out of the county
newspaper, or even from those in the metropolis. There was too much of
romance in the story, too good a tale to be told, for any such hope. The
man's former life and the woman's, the disappearance of her husband and
his reappearance after his reported death, the departure o
