Who

do

you

mean

by

We

?

Let

me

say

I

,

then

,

'

he

returned

,

in

answer

to

the

coarsely

blurted

question

;

'

I

doubt

whether

I

have

understood

Louisa

.

I

doubt

whether

I

have

been

quite

right

in

the

manner

of

her

education

.

There

you

hit

it

,

'

returned

Bounderby

.

'

There

I

agree

with

you

.

You

have

found

it

out

at

last

,

have

you

?

Education

!

I

'll

tell

you

what

education

is

--

To

be

tumbled

out

of

doors

,

neck

and

crop

,

and

put

upon

the

shortest

allowance

of

everything

except

blows

.

That

's

what

I

call

education

.

'

'

I

think

your

good

sense

will

perceive

,

'

Mr.

Gradgrind

remonstrated

in

all

humility

,

'

that

whatever

the

merits

of

such

a

system

may

be

,

it

would

be

difficult

of

general

application

to

girls

.

'

'

I

do

n't

see

it

at

all

,

sir

,

'

returned

the

obstinate

Bounderby

.

'

Well

,

'

sighed

Mr.

Gradgrind

,

'

we

will

not

enter

into

the

question

.

I

assure

you

I

have

no

desire

to

be

controversial

.

I

seek

to

repair

what

is

amiss

,

if

I

possibly

can

;

and

I

hope

you

will

assist

me

in

a

good

spirit

,

Bounderby

,

for

I

have

been

very

much

distressed

.

'

I

do

n't

understand

you

,

yet

,

'

said

Bounderby

,

with

determined

obstinacy

,

'

and

therefore

I

wo

n't

make

any

promises

.

'

'

In

the

course

of

a

few

hours

,

my

dear

Bounderby

,

'

Mr.

Gradgrind

proceeded

,

in

the

same

depressed

and

propitiatory

manner

,

'

I

appear

to

myself

to

have

become

better

informed

as

to

Louisa

's

character

,

than

in

previous

years

.

The

enlightenment

has

been

painfully

forced

upon

me

,

and

the

discovery

is

not

mine

.

I

think

there

are

--

Bounderby

,

you

will

be

surprised

to

hear

me

say

this

--

I

think

there

are

qualities

in

Louisa

,

which

--

which

have

been

harshly

neglected

,

and

--

and

a

little

perverted

.

And

--

and

I

would

suggest

to

you

,

that

--

that

if

you

would

kindly

meet

me

in

a

timely

endeavour

to

leave

her

to

her

better

nature

for

a

while

--

and

to

encourage

it

to

develop

itself

by

tenderness

and

consideration

--

it

--

it

would

be

the

better

for

the

happiness

of

all

of

us

.

Louisa

,

'

said

Mr.

Gradgrind

,

shading

his

face

with

his

hand

,

'

has

always

been

my

favourite

child

.
