"I know; but he is a Protestant?"

"I don't think he be much o' anything, sir. I know he hate
priests like pison, but he don't care about these things as I
do."

"Oh! I see." Writes in his memorandum book--husband indifferent.


"But don't you think he would help you to get the child back
again?"

"No, sir. I wouldn't speak of it to him for the world. He'd
knock any one down if they was to mention the child to him."

The little man mentally determined not to see Ginx.

"Well; would you like to have your child back?"

"You see, I couldn't bring it 'ere, sir. Ginx won't 'ave it; but
I'd like to see it took away from them nunnerys."

"Ha! very well then. We can perhaps manage it for you. You
would be content to hand it over to some Protestant Home, where
it would be taken care of and you could see it when you liked?"

"O yes, sir," cries Mrs. Ginx, brightening.

"Then we'll have an affidavit and apply for a Habeas Corpus."
