Having got all the information I wanted---
more than I expected, I roes to go. The clock f
me that my time had loog expired, but 6,fr,";rtneg
the women imistod on my seeing her mon.and
baby clothes ready for use in the drawers. Tb L.,14
room was very clean, and (undated with ey,: """h
fort, and the baby clothe* were of the beet 4•„1,',
very nicely arranged. Mrs. again told otti
her rules were very strict, and that, thoogn 'An

no tier howe woe a re,pectable um-, and she could'
affor-1 to lose her good name ; "but, my dear
added, "I can always cook you • aloe little din.; ."
a cozy evening with a friend would chrnr you up ',„-"4
and then." Al lust I got away, arid as I closed ii
door I heaved a long sigh of relief. My
impatiently waiting, and even contemplated an
on the house. So vanished into the past one of
molt extraordinary viola 1 ever paid in my la, t"
felt inclined to Mph' my Bat at the homer as I
nisei' the brass plate of the complabant doctor
attended (and abut his eyes) at au i the comfortable
quests of the pariah. I forgot to mention that duo%
the foregoing iiite,•iew I wee informed that .:;"
many other establialtruents like No. —, but thoal
they wese all "inferior," and only fit "for sere.„
and such like." I determined upon a visit to
aocordiugly, soon afterwards I made another
so a suburb of London inhabited, it seemed to
entirely by washerwomen, where lived another :.•
in the same line of business as Mr.. —. I was m 6,4,1
in a tiny sitting-room of the fronsieat desairei.„
where deceived pets of many generations were stlici
and looked menacing or idiotic, according to the
of the artist. Presently in Games regular &trey

I boon found that her line of business was prerehti..L.
and that an amiable medical man was in learto.
her, who demanded £5O for his serytoes. A few
only were required by the patient, and danger w.
spoken of as an impossibility.
I told off subsequently ooe of my aides to ante.,
and follow up one remarkable advertitemrnt ii fOil.
cuter, and it led to 'mules quite as conclusive, if not
estraordinary as my two interviews. My friend au
supposed to be an officer who was shortly obliged to
torn to hie regiment abroad, and who, before dim g
wished to make arrangements for the comfort of a .4d;
in who's condition he wee interested, tie Was reu.io,
mended by the advertiser toe doctor, kuosio in • cer.
Cain neighbourhood of London as a family doctor, I
believe ; it any rate, be bm an obtinsive beam plate on
',is door, and takes his chance of practice will, L 4
brother medicos. This amiable practitioner reoeived
my friend, and cheerfully agreed either to abbrevi.to
the lady's troubles or to get her taken oars of when the
p-oper time come, and have the child adopted at butt,
&limey wee the only necessary thing, and curiou•ly iLe
fee he required was krAl or ttiO, as to said in an offhand
woy—precisely the same sum demanded by the whets,
person certainly conducted his questionable /,r,c,
tiers with considerable ingenuity. As he was a puhlis
practitioner, I fancy he was dui, qualified by a degree
Irons souls college, and may poor bly hold • reepectable
position in his oeighbourhood.
But it is not • pleasant thing to think that • regular
doctor could not only lend himaed to such luciative
wickedness, but actually c,Jurt. it. by &defoliant:mate in
a daily paper. My conviction is that children are mut.
dined in mores by these women, that adoption )., only a
dos phrase for slow or sudden death, end that the i.:50
or £6O fee is divided between the mulderatas.
