and you shall not do as you like"
Turning to Mrs Crawcour. Jack said,

said to his master.
Mr.. Crawcour waved his hand. The
schoolmastcr was obliged to obey his
wife. for Mrs. Crawcour was woman
of firm and determined will, and her
| husband would not have seriously con
| tradicted her for the world. Jack, hav-

again an object of interest as he
walked out of the schoolroom.
