The International Series on Public Policy - the official series of Inter-
national Public Policy Association, which organizes the International
Conference on Public Policy - identifies major contributions to the
field of public policy, dealing with analytical and substantive policy and
governance issues across a variety of academic disciplines.
A comparative and interdisciplinary venture, it examines questions
of policy process and analysis, policymaking and implementation, policy
instruments, policy change & reforms, politics and policy, encompassing
a range of approaches, theoretical, methodological, and/or empirical.
Relevant across the various fields of political science, sociology, anthro-
pology, geography, history, and economics, this cutting edge series
welcomes contributions from academics from across disciplines and career
stages, and constitutes a unique resource for public policy scholars and
those teaching public policy worldwide.
All books in the series are subject to Palgrave’s rigorous peer review

“I will not go in with you, Isa dear,” said Edith, as the carriage
approached the little country town. “Lottie will speak to you more
freely if no one is by. I hope that we shall be able to carry back with
us to Wildwaste your runaway little gipsy maid.”
“I am sure that we shall,” replied Isa. “Lottie is an affectionate girl,
and loves me. I must chide her a little, but gently; she is one with
whom a short reproof will go a long way.”
“And all your scourges are made of feathers, like those in the fairy-
tale,” said Edith with a smile, as the carriage rolled up to the door of
Mrs. Green’s shop.
Courteously declining the guidance of the cobbler’s stout wife, Isa
lightly ascended the stair to the lodging above. She entertained not
the slightest doubt of succeeding in bringing back her truant; her only
subject of consideration was how far reproof should be blended with
kindness. Lottie’s strange conduct had given her mistress just cause
of offence; it must not be overlooked, though in Isa’s heart it was
already forgiven.
The lady tapped at the door, and entered the room where Lottie
stood trembling. Her face was buried in her hands; but Isa could see
the red burning flush on her neck. The girl’s attitude was so
expressive of humiliation and grief, that her gentle mistress forgot at
once all her intended rebuke.
“My poor Lottie, what has happened?” There was nothing but
kindness and sympathy in the voice which uttered the question.
The tears trickled through Lottie’s brown fingers; but she did not
remove her hands or raise her head.
“What has happened?” repeated Isa, addressing herself to the lad,
who had risen from his seat on the entrance of the lady.
Steady tugged hard at the button of his jacket; his nostrils dilated;
he looked first to one side and then to the other, an image of dull
perplexity. He jerked out the answer, “She won’t tell no one;” and
then, unable to bear another interview like that which had just
passed between his sister and Mr. Eardley, the poor lad shuffled
hastily out of the room.
Isa went up to Lottie Stone, and gently laid her hand on her
shoulder. “If you have had anything to pain and distress you, open
your heart to me. I am not angry with you, Lottie, though you did
wrong to leave the house without giving notice. I am willing to take
you back if you tell me frankly the cause of your going.”
“I can’t tell,” replied Lottie in a choking voice.
