'Oh! thank you! cried Albinia; 'yet I doubt. However, her services would be quite equivalent in any school to the lessons she wants. I'll write to Mrs. Elwood and she was absorbed in the register-office in her brain, when Mr. Kendal continued 'This is quite unexpected. I could not have supposed the boy so foolish!
"Ask him for something to eat!" said Elwood; "I am beginning to feel faint for the want of food." "What good will the same do? He hasn't anything to give."
