As the boy stood there the rector appeared, and led him into his study. 'We shall have half an hour before tea, to have a little conversation, my boy. Sit down, and tell me what you have been learning at Sunday school this afternoon.' AS THE BOY STOOD THERE THE RECTOR APPEARED AND LED HIM INTO THE STUDY WE SHALL HAVE HALF AN HOUR BEFORE TEA TO HAVE A LITTLE CONVERSATION MY BOY SIT DOWN AND TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN LEARNING AT SUNDAY SCHOOL THIS AFTERNOON
ent was brought before his notice, but it had never yet fallen to his lot to receive the invitation. Mr. Upton had his own way of doing things, so people said, and he had greater faith in reasoning with any culprits than scolding them, whether they were grown men, or women, or children. Teddy's restless ways in church had been a trial to him for a long time, and he felt that this morning's action must receive a check. 'Thank you, sir,' responded Mrs. John; 'he shall come to you after school is over this afternoon.' And Teddy, completely sobered, walked home beside his mother without uttering a word. At half-past four he stood on the rectory doorsteps looking into the cool broad hall in front of him, which led out of a glass door at the opposite end into a brilliant flower garden. Spotless white druggeting covered the floor and stairs, and everything indoors denoted a careful housekeeper. Mr. Upton was a widower, and was to a great extent ruled by two or three old and faithful servants.
