He succeeded so well that within a comparatively short space of time, the whole matter was made clear. Mrs. Jessop, alias Mrs. Krill, was examined, Tray was found and questioned, Matilda was made to speak out, and both Jessop and Hokar had to make clean breasts of it. The evidence thus procured proved the truth of the terrible confession made by Maud Jessop to the girl she thought to strangle.
Presently Chapman went away, and was soon lost to sight. Jessop comes into the Reading-Room. 'I saw you, said I, 'talking to an old fellow with a French dog. 'Such a good old fellow, said Jessop; 'has a way about him that gets into your very heart while he is talking.
"Starboard fore brace," he sung out. He turned to me. "You'll have to finish telling me afterwards," he said. "i, i, Sir," I replied, and went to join the other chaps at the braces. As soon as we were braced sharp up on the port tack, he sent some of the watch up to loose the sails. Then he sung out for me. "Go on with your yarn now, Jessop," he said.

At last the baby uttered a little cry of pain the mother darted forward, and clasped it almost savagely to her breast. "I will not have my baby hurt! There is nothing wrong with her sweet eyes.
Jessop has pointed out that in addition to the production of church service books, of music, and educational work in connection with the school, "a small army of writers" must have been needed in the "business department of the scriptorium."
