r Tom. I want him to know figures, and write like print, and see into things quick, and know what folks mean, and how to wrap things up in words as aren’t actionable. It’s an uncommon fine thing, that is,” concluded Mr. Tulliver, shaking his head,CG Menn Heli-Arctic Parka Norge Salg, “when you can let a man know what you think of him without paying for it.”
“Oh, my dear Tulliver,” said Mr. Riley,CG Menn Hybridge Lite Jakke Norge Salg, “you’re quite under a mistake about the clergy; all the best schoolmasters are of the clergy. The schoolmasters who are not clergymen are a very low set of men generally.”
“Ay, that Jacobs is, at the ‘cademy,” interposed Mr. Tulliver.
“To be sure — men who have failed in other trades, most likely. Now, a clergyman is a gentleman by profession and education; and besides that,Ralph Lauren byxor, he has the knowledge that will ground a boy, and prepare him for entering on any career with credit. There may be some clergymen who are mere bookmen; but you may depend upon it,Belstaff Snaefell Kurtki, Stelling is not one of them — a man that’s wide awake, let me tell you. drop him a hint, and that’s enough. You talk of figures, now; you have only to say to Stelling, ‘I want my son to be a thorough arithmetician,Maillot Reus Pas Cher,’ and you may leave the rest to him.”
Mr. Riley paused a moment,Buty Moncler, while Mr. Tulliver, some-what reassured as to clerical tutorship, was inwardly rehearsing to an imaginary Mr. Stelling the statement,Chaussures Nike Air Zoom Femme, “I want my son to know ‘rethmetic.”

“Ay, that’s true,” said Mr. Tulliver, almost convinced now that the clergy must be the best of schoolmasters.
“Well, I’ll tell you what I’ll do for you,” said Mr. Riley, “and I wouldn’t do it for everybody. I’ll see Stelling’s father-in-law,Dame Moncler Fragon, or drop him a line when I get back to Mudport, to say that you wish to place your boy with his son-in-law, and I dare say Stelling will write to you, and send you his terms.”
“But there’s no hurry, is there?” said Mrs. Tulliver; “for I hope, Mr. Tulliver, you won’t let Tom begin at his new school before Midsummer. He began at the ‘cademy at the Lady-day quarter, and you see what good’s come of it.”
“Ay, ay, Bessy, never brew wi’ bad malt upo’ Michael-masday, else you’ll have a poor tap,” said Mr. Tulliver, winking and smiling at Mr. Riley, with the natural pride of a man who has a buxom wife conspicuously his inferior in intellect. “But it’s true there’s no hurry; you’ve hit it there, Bessy.”
“It might be as well not to defer the arrangement too long,Chaussures Originals NMD Femme,” said Mr. Riley, quietly, “for Stelling may have propositions from other parties,Maillot Mertens Pas Cher, and I know he would not take more than two or three boarders, if so many.
