So, my lady, you must excuse me if, when he gets about again, he is all agog about a Sunday-school, for if he is, I shall be agog too, and perhaps twice as bad as him, for, you see, I've a strong constitution compared to his, and strong ways of speaking and acting.

And I tell your ladyship this now, because I think from your rank--and still more, if I may say so, for all your kindness to me long ago, down to this very day--you've a right to be first told of anything about me.

Change of opinion I can't exactly call it, for I don't see the good of schools and teaching A B C, any more than I did before, only Mr.Gray does, so I'm to shut my eyes, and leap over the ditch to the side of education.

I've told Sally already, that if she does not mind her work, but stands gossiping with Nelly Mather, I'll teach her her lessons; and I've never caught her with old Nelly since." I think Miss Galindo's desertion to Mr.Gray's opinions in this matter hurt my lady just a little bit; but she only said-- "Of course, if the parishoners wish for it, Mr.Gray must have his Sunday- school.

I shall, in that case, withdraw my opposition.
