Missing money found in the sweet shop ! | ||

"An unpleasant affair occurred in School on Thursday after[noon]: one of the children took a 3d [3 penny] piece from the Desk during the time they were standing round the Desk alone at a spelling lesson..." |
Four girls had

it, and it wasn't found when they were searched by the teacher. But the mystery was solved the next day. The school Log Book went on to tell the story... |
