They told me, when I first returned, that I was to consider their sitting- room my sitting-room also, and to go there whenever I was not engaged in the schoolroom.

This, however, I cannot do.

In the daytime it is a public room, where music-masters and mistresses are constantly passing in and out; and in the evening, I will not, and ought not to intrude on M.and Madame Heger and their children.

Thus I am a good deal by myself, out of school-hours; but that does not signify.

I now regularly give English lessons to M.Heger and his brother-in-law.
They get on with wonderful rapidity; especially the first.
