NO FOLLOWERS ALLOWED
A dignified Berkshire rector, now deceased, interested himself in geting first places for little workhouse girls of fourteen belonging to his parish. Having satisfactorily placed one of his protegees in the family of a small tradesman at the East-end as ‘general servant,’ he wrote a kind note to the child a few months later, to say he should be coming up to town shortly for the May meetings, and would, if possible, call and see how she was getting on. To his surprise and bewilderment he received a curt reply by post saying : ‘ Honoured Fir, —Emily Bates is very sorry, and would have been pleased to see you, but no followers are allowed.’
