Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from David Blaize
Having told Blaize to get on with his home letter, Mr. Dutton resumed his employment, which was not what it seemed. On his desk, it is true, was a large Prayer-book, for he had been hearing the boys their Catechism, in the matter of which Blaize had proved himself wonderfully ignorant, and had been condemned to write out his duty towards his neighbour (who had very agreeably attempted to prompt him) three times, and show it up before morning school on Monday. There was a Bible there also, out of which, when the Sunday letters home were finished, Mr. Dutton would read a chapter about the second missionary journey of St. Paul, and then ask questions. But while these letters were being written Mr. Dutton was not Sabbatically employed, for nestling be tween his books was a yellow-backed volume of stories by Guy de Maupassant. Mr. Dutton found him most entertaining: he skated on such very thin ice, and never quite went through.
