I remember him well, Bandy, although I was only a boy at the time; go on he was always a dishonest scoundrel it was said proceed." "Well it seems, Antony, sir, mistook him for a Protestant parson; and as he had a hankerin' afther the goold, he opened a gusset in the man's throat that same night, when the unsuspectin' traveller was sound in that sleep that he never woke from in this world.
"Yes, I'll mad him," retorted the cook, "if he comes meddling with my larder when my back's turned. I have a very great mind not to finish cooking those sausage-meat cakes for his tea behaving like that when the Squire's out!" But all the same Martha Gusset, who was a pleasant, portly dame, went back to her fire to continue her hurried cooking for her young master's evening meal.
"That'll about do," said Gusset; and he looked up to the top of the ladder, half hidden amongst the clustering ivy, then down at the two men, and, lastly, at the sergeant. "Now, then," he said, in his unpleasant, husky voice, "it's no use to waste time. Somebody had better go up." "To be sure," said the sergeant sharply. "Well, we are waiting.

"I suppose she is one of your playing-up ladies.
But I say, Bella, have you heard anything about there being soldiers in the forest?" "Oh, yes," said the girl eagerly. "You haven't seen any of them, have you?" "I? No," said Waller quickly. "What have you heard?" "Oh, I only heard what Tony Gusset said to Martha when he came in to talk to her last night." "What!" cried Waller. "Was that old stupid here last night?" "Yes; but he wasn't here long.
All kinds of instruction in infant schools, kindergartens; domestic and industrial trainin' for girls, models for teachin' and cookery, housework, dressmakin', etc.; how neccessary this is to turn out girls for real life, so much better than to have 'em know Greek, but not know a potatoe from a turnip; to understand geology, but not recognize a shirt gusset from a baby's bib!
