“The
manageress
had
been
busy
with
her
papers
the
whole
time.
She
looked
at
me
with
annoyance,
and
I
thought
she
was
upset
because
she
lost
a
good
commission.”
“Do
you
want
your
name
to
stay
in
the
books?”
she
asked.
“Yes,
please,
Miss
Stoper.”
“Well,
it
seems
useless
since
you
refuse
such
good
offers,”
she
said
sharply.
“You
cannot
expect
us
to
work
hard
to
find
another
job
for
you.
Good
day,
Miss
Hunter.”
She
rang
a
bell,
and
a
boy
showed
me
out.
“Well,
Mr.
Holmes,
when
I
returned
to
my
room
and
saw
little
food
and
some
bills
on
the
table,
I
wondered
if
I
had
made
a
mistake.
These
people
had
strange
ideas
and
wanted
obedience
in
odd
things,
but
they
were
willing
to
pay
well.
Very
few
governesses
in
England
earn
£100
a
year.
Besides,
what
use
was
my
hair?
Many
people
look
better
with
short
hair,
and
maybe
I
would
too.
The
next
day
I
thought
I
had
made
a
mistake,
and
the
day
after,
I
was
sure
of
it.
I
almost
decided
to
go
back
to
the
agency
and
ask
if
the
job
was
still
open
when
I
got
this
letter
from
the
gentleman
himself.
I
have
it
here
and
will
read
it
to
you:”
“‘The
Copper
Beeches,
near
Winchester.
“‘DEAR
MISS
HUNTER,—Miss
Stoper
kindly
gave
me
your
address,
and
I
write
to
ask
if
you
have
changed
your
mind.
My
wife
really
wants
you
to
come
because
she
liked
my
description
of
you.
We
are
willing
to
pay
£30
a
quarter,
or
£120
a
year,
to
make
up
for
any
trouble
our
wishes
may
cause.
They
are
not
too
demanding.
My
wife
likes
a
certain
blue
color
and
wants
you
to
wear
such
a
dress
in
the
morning.
You
don’t
need
to
buy
one,
as
we
have
one
from
my
daughter
Alice
(now
in
Philadelphia),
which
should
fit
you.
Sitting
here
or
there
or
doing
any
little
thing
should
not
trouble
you.
About
your
hair,
it’s
a
pity,
as
I
noticed
its
beauty
during
our
meeting,
but
I
must
insist
on
this
point.
I
hope
the
higher
salary
will
make
up
for
the
loss.
Your
duties
with
the
child
are
very
light.
Please
try
to
come,
and
I
will
meet
you
with
the
dog-cart
at
Winchester.
Let
me
know
your
train.
Yours
faithfully,
“‘JEPHRO
RUCASTLE.’”
“That
is
the
letter
I
just
received,
Mr.
Holmes,
and
I
have
decided
to
accept
it.
But
before
I
take
the
final
step,
I
wanted
to
get
your
opinion.”
