He treats me just like a child, and as if I should lose all my present opinions when I know more of the world.

I am sure I should like never to know the world, if it was to make me think as he does, hard man that he is! I wonder what made him take Jem Brown on as gardener again, if he does not believe that above one criminal in a thousand is restored to goodness.

I'll ask him, some day, if that was not acting on impulse rather than principle.

Poor impulse! how you do get abused.

But I will tell Mr Farquhar I will not let him interfere with me.
