footsteps in the Porch Mr Hose was startled for now that Mrs Hose
was dead people seldom came near the house and Mr Hose was not much to
look at, he had very little hair and what he had was very seldom brushed
and his red nose got bigger every day so you can emagin how few people
ventured near him. when he heard the bell ring he jumped up and asked
the servent who it was she said she would go and see she soon apperd and
said it was a young man wanted to know if Mr Hose lived here show him in
and say I do Just at that moment a man rushed in father he said dont you
know me, and he flung himself into Mr Hoses arms my son my son where
have you been all these long years tell me all about it. where is mother
I must tell her too why my son you will never see your mother again she
is dead she has dided for the loss of you ah I have had whom I thought
was my mother and it was not untill I saw in the paper that I was still
bieng looked for and that my name was Charlie Hose and Mr Hose was still
alive while my supposed name was Auther Junick that I was determined to
ascape and so I did. well my son I cant tell you how glad I am to have
you back again saying you where 1 year old when we missed you If your
mother had only been here to see you safe at home and Miss Junick in
Prison and always had you with her she would rejoice, and now hoping _I_
have pleased I will end my story of the Jealous governess or the granted
wish.
