"He does not wish for pardon.
He is wicked.
Saveria! take this headstrong boy to the kitchen, and lay the whip upon him well, do you hear? He has deserved it." Napoleon fled to the corner, and stood at bay.
Uncle Joey Fesch joined him, as if to protect and defend him.
But when big and strong Nurse Saveria bore down upon them both, Uncle Joey, after an unsuccessful attempt to drag Napoleon with him, turned from the enemy, and sprang through the open window. Then Saveria flung her arms about the little Napoleon, and, in spite of his kickings and scratchings, bore him from the room, while all laughed except Pauline.
