Daddy, and came back with a light in her blanched face, bearing the

Dora set herself to learn dressmaking, and did her best to like the

with social experiment in its small provincial way, with
secularism, Owenism, anti-vaccination, and much else, that Lomax

that, during an editorial absence, and in the first fervour of
conversion, Daddy so belaboured a carnivorous world in the columns
of the 'Penny Banner' for which he worked, and so grotesquely and
persistently reduced all the problems of the time to terms of
nitrogen and albumen, that curt dismissal came upon him, and for a
time Dora saw nothing but her precarious earnings between them and
starvation. It was then also that, by virtue of that queer charm he
could always exercise when he pleased, he laid hold on a young
Radical manufacturer and got out of him a loan of 200 pounds for
the establishment of a vegetarian restaurant wherein Leicester was
to be taught how to feed.

But Leicester, alas! remained unregenerate. In the midst of Daddy's
preparations a commercial traveller, well known both to Manchester
and Leicester, repeated to him one day a remark of Purcell's, to
the effect that since Daddy's migration Manchester had been well
rid of a vagabond, and he, Purcell, of a family disgrace. Daddy,
bursting with fatuous rage, and possessed besides of the wildest
dreams of fortune on the strength of his 200 pounds, straightway
made up his mind to return to Manchester, 'pull
