'He fancies him more than I like, or Mother either, said Ellen. 'He says he's out of Upperscote Union; but he's a thorough impudent one, and owns he's no father nor mother, nor nothing belonging to him. I think it is a deal more likely that he is run away from some reformatory, or prison. 'That's just what I said to the farmer! said Mrs. Shepherd. 'I said he was out of some place of that sort.
