; under Stelling’s eye continually.”
“But do you think they’d give the poor lad twice o’ pudding?” said Mrs. Tulliver, who was now in her place again. “He’s such a boy for pudding as never was; an’ a growing boy like that — it’s dreadful to think o’ their stintin’ him.”
“And what money ‘ud he want?” said Mr. Tulliver, whose instinct told him that the services of this admirable M.A. would bear a high price.
“Why,Southampton Pas Cher, I know of a clergyman who asks a hundred and fifty with his youngest pupils, and he’s not to be mentioned with Stelling,Chelsea Pas Cher, the man I speak of. I know,Maillot Young Pas Cher, on good authority, that one of the chief people at Oxford said, Stelling might get the highest honors if he chose. But he didn’t care about university honors; he’s a quiet man — not noisy.”
“Ah,Chaussures Nike x Fragment Homme, a deal better — a deal better,CG Dame Solaris Parka Norge Salg,” said Mr. Tulliver; “but a hundred and fifty’s an uncommon price. I never thought o’ paying so much as that.”
“A good education, let me tell you,CG Dame Hybridge Lite Jakke Norge Salg, Tulliver — a good education is cheap at the money. But Stelling is moderate in his terms; he’s not a grasping man. I’ve no doubt he’d take your boy at a hundred,CG Dame Hybridge Lite Vest Norge Salg, and that’s what you wouldn’t get many other clergymen to do. I’ll write to him about it, if you like.”
Mr. Tulliver rubbed his knees, and looked at the carpet in a meditative manner.
“But belike he’s a bachelor,” observed Mrs. Tulliver, in the interval; “an’ I’ve no opinion o’ housekeepers. There was my brother,Maillot Altidore Pas Cher, as is dead an’ gone, had a housekeeper once, an’ she took half the feathers out o’ the best bed,Maillot Ozil Pas Cher, an’ packed ’em up an’ sent ’em away. An’ it’s unknown the linen she made away with — Stott her name was. It ‘ud break my heart to send Tom where there’s a housekeeper, an’ I hope you won’t think of it, Mr. Tulliver.”
“You may set your mind at rest on that score, Mrs. Tulliver,Maillot Toure Yaya Pas Cher,” said Mr. Riley, “for Stelling is married to as nice a little woman as any man need wish for a wife. There isn’t a kinder little soul in the world; I know her family well. She has very much your complexion — light curly hair. She comes of a good Mudport family,Maillot Pjanic Pas Cher, and it’s not every offer that would have been acceptable in that quarter. But Stelling’s not an every-day man; rather a particular fellow as to the people he chooses to be connected with. But I think he would have no objection to take your son; I think he would not, on my representation.”
“I don’t know what he could have against the lad,” said Mrs. Tulliver, with a slight touch of motherly indignation; “a nice fresh-skinned lad as anybody need wish to see.”
“But there’s one thing I’m thinking on,” said Mr. Tulliver, turning his head on one side and looking at Mr. Riley, after a long perusal of the carpet. “Wouldn’t a parson be almost too high-learnt to bring up a lad to be a man o’ business? My notion o’ the parsons was as they’d got a sort o’ learning as lay mostly out o’ sight. And that isn’t what I want fo
