     "Does he live here?"

     "No--two miles off, at a large hall."

     "Is he a good man?"

     "He is a clergyman, and is said to do a great deal of good."

     "Did you say that tall lady was called Miss Temple?"

     "Yes."

     "And what are the other teachers called?"

 

     "The one with red cheeks is called Miss Smith; she attends to the work, and cuts out--for we make our own clothes, our frocks, and pelisses, and everything; the little one with black hair is Miss Scatcherd; she teaches history and grammar, and hears the second class repetitions; and the one who wears a shawl, and has a pocket-handkerchief tied to her side with a yellow ribband, is Madame Pierrot: she comes from Lisle, in France, and teaches French."

     "Do you like the teachers?"

     "Well enough."

     "Do you like the little black one, and the Madame ---?--I cannot pronounce her name as you do."
