My dear Esther, Mr. Eccles made his hundred and fifty-sixth appearance in the police-court last week. The fact was made the subject of jocular comment in the cheaper evening papers. The sentence was five shillings or seven days.

Poor Papa felt his position acutely.
George.
Not half so acutely as I did. I paid the five shillings. If he had only consented to remain in Jersey!
Esther.
