'I say, we've got a new boy at Torrington's. Haven't had one for ages and ages, so it's made quite a stir among us.' 'You can make stir enough when you are coming out of school, ' said his sister, lifting her eyes from her lessons and looking across the table. 'Who is the new boy?' she asked. 'Nobody knows-that's the fun, ' said Leonard, with a short whistle. 'Don't you even know his name?'

'Of course he was properly introduced to the class as Mr. Horace Howard.' 'Howard is a nice name, ' commented Duffy, whose real name was Florence. 'It was Aunt Lucy's name before she was married, you know.' No, I don't know. I may have heard it, but the name's nothing. I don't suppose his father was hanged!' said her brot
