Mr. Agassiz replied that the children were sent to a Reformatory or Borstal Institute. If they sent these children to gaol they would, in time to come, be manufacturing criminals.
Mr-Ormer I would like to know who is the guardian of these children. It is a very mean thing for people to employ children for this sort of thing.
But the Emperor Charica, indignant at his treachery, decided to expel him from Austrian territory, and despatched. his Grand Chamberlain, Count Berchtold, post-haste with notice to quit at once. It was midnight, when Berchtold arrived, and Ferdinand was asleep.
On being awakened he popped his head out of the bedclothes and inquired the errand of the Grand Chamberlain.
