I heard that they had gone, and heard also that he was tired of school-keeping in England, and had determined to try his fortune in another part of the world. Our friendship had dwindled to nothing, and I thought no more about him. Mrs. Butts never uttered one word of reproach to her husband.
He was not, however, to give up his studies; and as it is customary to allow half-time to students engaged in school-keeping, that is, to count a year, so employed, if the student also keep on with his professional studies, as equal to six months of the three years he is expected to be under an instructor before applying for his degree, he would not necessarily lose more than a few months of time.
Mrs Clere's servant, Elizabeth Foulkes, was her dearest friend. "You'd best give Mistress Elizabeth Foulkes the go by, Rose Allen. She's a cantankerous, ill-beseen hussy, and no good company for you. She'll learn you to do as ill as herself, if you look not out." "But what has Bessy done?" "Gone into school-keeping," said Mrs Clere sarcastically.
I do believe that hard homely work, such as this school-keeping, is the best outlet for what might otherwise run to extravagance more especially as you say the hope of it has already been an incentive to improvement in home duties." "That I am sure it has," said Margaret. "Moreover," said Mr. Wilmot, "I think you were quite right in thinking that to interfere with such a design was unsafe.
Now, school-keeping had never been a congenial occupation to Alan, whose poetic temperament was chafed by the strict and ungrateful routine of the business. His father had been to the manner born, and things had prospered with him, but Alan by himself would not have been able to achieve a like success.
Not only had this school-keeping wretch come between him and the scheme by which he was to secure his future fortune, but his image had so infected his cousin's mind that she was ready to try on him some of those tricks which, as he had heard hinted in the village, she had once before put in practice upon a person who had become odious to her.
"But they don't spin and weave now, since the factories have been built. And as for school-keeping " "It would be work, good wholesome work, in which, with God's help, I might try to do as our father and mother did, and leave the world better for my labour." "But you could not part from Rose, and Arthur could never be made to see it right that you should go away," said Will.
"You know," says Lavater, speaking of Winckelmann's countenance, "that I consider ardour and indifference by no means incompatible in the same character. If ever there was a striking instance of that union, it is in the countenance before us." "A lowly childhood," says Goethe, "insufficient instruction in youth, broken, distracted studies in early manhood, the burden of school-keeping!
I have thoroughly tried school-keeping, and found that my expenses were in proportion, or rather out of proportion, to my income, for I was obliged to dress and train, not to say think and believe, accordingly, and I lost my time into the bargain. As I did not teach for the good of my fellow-men, but simply for a livelihood, this was a failure.
As teaching seemed the only profession open to them, and as it appeared that Emily at least could not live away from home, while the others also suffered much from the same cause, this plan of school-keeping presented itself as most desirable. But it involved some outlay; and to this their aunt was averse.
