Excerpt from Roy's Repentance IT was in the year of grace, 1868, that the Rever end Michael Profeit, vicar of St. Helen's, Felstoke, Somersetshire, conceived the brilliant idea of taking private pupils. He had a large house, a capable wife, a great many university distinctions, and no children he was the very man to be a tutor. His parish was small, his pay moderate his parishioners were poor and ignorant, but neither so poor nor so ignorant as to require much of his aid, spiritual or temporal. He preached every Sunday morning, visited the school for half an hour twice a week, sometimes gave Sixpence to an orthodox old woman his wife and his curate did the rest. Naturally, he had a good deal of time on his hands. So he advertised for pupils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
