The Board, not so formidable as she had imagined, had inquired into her case; and, instead of sending her to Stoke Claypole, her husband's Buckinghamshire parish, as she had dreaded, had agreed to pay her rent.

'I know I ain't as cunning as you are, replied Charlotte; 'but don't put all the blame on me, and say I should have been locked up. You would have been if I had been, any way.
