CHAPTER X.—A GOOD-BYE. FORTUNE seemed to have quite turned in favour of the Percys. Mr. Fronset was intimately acquainted with the editor of the chief paper in Canning, and had seen him on passing through the town. When Clara told him then of her cousin's situation and plans, he immediately perceived a way of assisting him. This editor, a Mr. Blake, would like to have a foreign correspondent, and was also in immediate need of an assistant editor for a few months. It might be possible to procure the place for Francis Percy. Mr. Fronset lost no time in recommending him, and the result was that Francis made his first literary engagement by means of this new friend. It was not a very great help, but it was something; and the young man entered at once upon his duties. He had to go into the city early in the morning, and stay all day; but he went joyfully and thankfully, delighted with the prospect of independence, and with his new employment. Mr. Fronset said that the preparations for the young man's first setting out reminded him of Wilkie's picture of preparing Moses for the Fair, except that there were not so many figures. Martha, her face glowing with mingled good-will and self-complacency, stood holding a little package containing the choicest luncheon that she could devise, while the mother deliberated in which of her son's pockets it should be placed, and Clara presented a tiny bottle of wine that was of a sort reserved for special occasions.
