Book Overview

Excerpt from By Conduct and Courage: A Story of Nelson's Days

John Hammond was sent for, and the case was put to him. Well, he said, I think I could do with him, and the brass would be mighty useful to me just now; but how does the law stand? If it got to be talked about, the par ish might come down upon me for the money.

That is so, John, one Of the others said. The best plan would be for you, and two of us, to go up to parson, and ask him how the matter stands. If he says that it is all right, you may be sure that you would be quite safe.

The clergyman, upon being consulted, said that he thought the arrangement was a very good one. The parish authorities had not been asked to find any money for the father's funeral, and had therefore no say in the matter, unless they were called upon to take the child. Should any question be asked, he would state that he himself had gone into the matter and had strongly approved of the arrangement, which he considered was to their advantage as well as the child's; for if they took charge of the boy they would have to keep him at least ten years, and then pay for apprenticing him out.
