- In The Usher of Lea House School by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a young man, Harold Weld, desperate for a teaching post takes up a position in West Hampstead for 'sixty pounds, board, lodging and washing'. First published in 1899 under the title 'The Story of the Latin Tutor' in The Strand Magazine.
It is read by Greg Wagland for Magpie Audio.
The artwork is by Albert Anker, titled 'The School Exam'. Not altogether fitting for the story but I liked it!

Two Sir ACD stories within 10 days, now you're spoiling us! Thank you Greg!
Oh yes! Always DELIGHTED when Mr. Wagland gives us a new reading. My ultimate recipe for a good night's sleep (in the nicest possible way). Much obliged sir.
Such joy when I find a new Magpie Audio story in my rotation. I've said before and here again, that Mr. Wagland could read the instructions on how to install a washing machine and make it sound mysterious and exciting!!
Thank You 🙏🌹👋 He is Reading so good and clear 👍 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Agreed!
I totally agree!!
Yay! I love anything by Arthur Conan Doyle, especially his ghost stories. Also I love Sherlock Holmes! I live in Baker Street in London! I walk past where they give the tour every single day! Everybody pray for the end of this lockdown so that we can get our lives back and open up Our cities! And if you don’t believe in any kind of spirituality! I’m not religious but very spiritual, then just think positively about the situation! Blessings!
Thank you Maria🌺
I have read that it is a very elite neighbourhood.

Keep up the good work fella and stay safe.
So good to hear you again.
As usual an excellent job Thank you I enjoy your readings and hope you will be safe in these trying times. God bless. Grandma in AZ :)
Oooh, do you know you are my sleep-mate? I always listen to ur voice before I fall asleep. It's so deep and relaxing.
And I’m his bath-mate! Can’t count the times I’ve listened to the entire Canon in my bath! Let’s both keep him busy ❤️❤️
Same here 🤣🤣
😜 ha! I am with you two here! I too listen in the bath on my ( now) waterproof Bluetooth speaker & while falling asleep!
Thank you Greg!
Whatever helps you forget about the small dapper man with a sharp, abrupt manner and critical eye living in your wall next to your bed.
Greg's narration makes my ears wiggle in delight :)
Great to hear you, Greg!
Yes! You have the most soothing voice! You could be reading the telephone book and I’d be listening along enjoying every moment.
Your oratory is fantastic gift. Another well spent hour at work courteousy of your time, effort, and dedication. Appreciated as always. Many thanks to you.
✌️& Favour ALL, GW be blessed.
So glad to see another story from you Greg! Great ending to this week. Thank you and have a great weekend!
This had me on edge with the suspense. What a great storyteller! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant work.
Thanks, Greg, for another interesting story. Your postings of other ACD stories have given me a sympathy for him being tired of people wanting only Holmes. He really had a range and you are helping to show it
Thank you!
Again, thank you good sir.
Good painting. Imagine how many of these people were friends of the artist. LOL. And the angle the boy with the pointer is to what he is pointing at. It is almost double his height. Looking at this on the computer screen makes is apparent how far we've come.
Thank you!!!🔥😉
You're a master at finding these hidden gems, and at performing them!
wonderful reading. thanks so much, again. this was a new one for me, surprisingly.
i did guess right, but not the reasons, so it was no less enjoyable. Keep safe :) 🌷📚
OMG - this is new today - what luck in finding it !! :)
I have listened to these stories innumerable times. I can quote parts of them word for word. So easy to love the gorgeous writing and acting. ACD + GW = 100%
Glad you like them, tottiem!
A brilliant story. A wonderful narration/acting by one of the best.
Thanks for another gem from Arthur Conan Doyle masterly writings.
And this is why Conan Doyle is an absolute great. He knew one day, great narrators like wagland would keep his voice alive.
Ha! Maybe, Carl!
Great performance, Greg! Thank you! 😊
Yay! Happy to hear you again!
Award winning

You really are spoiling us at the moment.
Everything you post is terribly fantastic! I adore your dictation and your reading of The Brazilian Cat often brings peace through fitful unrest, so I thank you!
Here I am again showing my gratitude to Mr. Greg Wagland for his incredible readings. Cheers
Every reading is a great treat👍
The absolute best narration voice.
Thank you for such a fine reading.
Thank you for uploading. Loved your voice and excellent reading. ❤👍
the british writers of the 19th century are surely eternally at the apex of all writers in the english language....such lovely structure and vocabulary and subtle intelligence....such charming and approachable stories full of human stress and distress in the most humanely evil and disturbingly pleasant ways.
the narration is superb and supremely brilliant and intelligent .... so different from other entertainments is 21st century USA
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ahhhhhh yes. Yes. Cheers Greg. 🙂👍🏻
Thank you
Loved this one, thanks Greg ❤️
Thanks Ann

Thank you again 😌
Cheers!
Why dislikes?
Re~listen Thanks *Greg*

Missing you!
Good-O for sure.
Times and attitudes change. The Headmaster doesn't seem bothered about the hell that this "teacher" put the students through for three years! :)
Aaweome as always.
Helllllooooooo Greg! 🥳👏🏻 always a happy day when I see a new one by the great narrator himself! Any new digressions in the works? I thoroughly enjoy listening to you DIGRESS!
Excellent... Thank you!
The wisdom from these old books is why I keep coming back. @ about 9:30: To tolerate a menacing personality means “you have the spirit of a perfect Christian or no spirit at all”. This is very deep. Whilst the outcome is the same; the tolerance of a menace or bully, the internal gears that produce this outcome are very psychologically and spiritually different - either one is a coward, or being blackmailed, or is a saint. Thus, with the same behavior exhibited on the outside, the internal struggles and thus the quality and quantity of suffering could not be more different for each case.
George Washington was in his 40s when Beethoven was born.Weird huh? Who would have known.
heard of Beethoven but not the other chap..
OMG
👍👍👍👍👍
Greg!?! Where are yoooouu?? x
Knocking about somewhere.
One of the elements that I appreciate most about Doyle's tales is the human mystery - why does a person act/ speak/ respond/ interact in such a manner? There doesn't always have to be a mysterious clue or stolen item or a confounding death; psychology is the "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma".
I’m not sayin a word right now. 🧐
Wagland just precipitated an AMC Gremlin from a brainstorm over on Classic Breakdown.😏
Halloooo!!!!
