A vanman was offered fifty shillings a week, a housekeeper thirty shillings a week all found; for an errand-boy fifteen shillings a week was suggested, and ten pounds as a bonus to the parents of the child that was to be adopted.

“I shall leave it on the pavement, then, and M. Finsbury can arrange with the Vestry as he likes,” said the vanman.

“It doesn’t matter who you are,” said the vanman.

“Well, sir,” said the vanman, “I never see such a job.”

But a question: Do you really wish to meet the vanman?”
