Waymark occupied a prominent place in Dr.Tootle's prospectus.
As Osmond Waymark, B.A.,--the degree was a _bona fide_ one, of London University,--he filled the position of Senior Classical Master; anonymously he figured as a teacher of drawing and lecturer on experimental chemistry.

The other two masters, resident, were Mr.
O'Gree and Herr Egger; the former, teacher of mathematics, assistant classical master, and professor of gymnastics; the latter, teacher of foreign languages, of music, and of dancing.

Dr.Tootle took upon himself the English branches, and, of course, the arduous duty of general superintendence.

He was a very tall, thin, cadaverous, bald-headed man.

Somehow or other he had the reputation of having, at an earlier stage in his career, grievously over-exerted his brain in literary labour; parents were found, on the whole, ready to accept this fact as an incontestable proof of the doctor's fitness to fill his present office, though it resulted in entire weeks of retreat from the school-room under the excuse of fearful headaches.
