That ' Escaped ' Nun

According to the editor of John BitZZ !(issue of May 8), pressure is alleged to have been made^by a prominent official of the Protestant Alliance to induce ' the young lady who recently " escaped " from a convent, under circumstances that were made the most of by the sensational press, to appear on. your platforms. • I presume the limitless funds which scattered gold watches among the railway porters will quite admit of . the offers that have teen mado to Miss Moult. If, however, that lady has any complaint to make against convents — and I am told she has not — sho would^ do well to make it under other auspices, and fco make 'it " without money and without price." Some jf us remember Ellen Golding, "the rescued nun," who3e tale your society vouched for, and which turned out,, a tissue of falsehoods. Is not it playing the game a bit low down to bring pressure to bear upon a young womau in this lady's circumstances?'
