GOING TO THE MOP.
“I never went to St. John’s mop in my life,” said Mrs. Todhetley.
“That’s no reason why you never should go,” returned the Squire.
“And never thought of engaging a servant at one.”
“There are as good servants to be picked up at a mop as out of it; and you have a great deal better choice,” said he. “My mother has hired many a man and maid at the mop: first-rate servants too.”
