The Master of the Shell Talbot Baines Reed

The reader is requested kindly to glance through the following batch of letters, which, oddly enough, are all dated September 9th, 18?: Number 1.?William Grover, M. A., Grandcourt School, to Mark Railsford, M. A., Lucerne. ?Grandcourt, September 9th. ?Dear Railsford,?I suppose this will catch you at Lucerne, on your way back to England. I was sorry to hear you had been seedy before you left London. Your trip is sure to have done you good, and if you only fell in with pleasant people I expect you will have enjoyed yourself considerably. What are you going to do when you get home?still follow the profession of a gentleman at large, or what? Term opened here again last week, and the Sixth came back to-day. I?m getting more reconciled to the place by this time; indeed, there is no work I like better than teaching, and if I was as certain it was as good for the boys as it is congenial to me I should be perfectly contented. My fellow-masters, with an exception or two, are good fellows, and let me alone. The exceptions are harder to get on with.
