To release me from my present situation, however his inclination might befriend me, was not to be expected, since his life would have paid the forfeiture of what would be termed his duty.

The boy was very still for a little, but burst out presently: “I’m going to work, mother; as soon as school closes I’ll start.”,It was tough!
