(
Sissy
Jupe
thrown
into
the
greatest
alarm
by
this
demand
.
)
'
Girl
number
twenty
unable
to
define
a
horse
!
'
said
Mr.
Gradgrind
,
for
the
general
behoof
of
all
the
little
pitchers
.
'
Girl
number
twenty
possessed
of
no
facts
,
in
reference
to
one
of
the
commonest
of
animals
!
Some
boy
's
definition
of
a
horse
.
Bitzer
,
yours
.
'
The
square
finger
,
moving
here
and
there
,
lighted
suddenly
on
Bitzer
,
perhaps
because
he
chanced
to
sit
in
the
same
ray
of
sunlight
which
,
darting
in
at
one
of
the
bare
windows
of
the
intensely
white-washed
room
,
irradiated
Sissy
.
For
,
the
boys
and
girls
sat
on
the
face
of
the
inclined
plane
in
two
compact
bodies
,
divided
up
the
centre
by
a
narrow
interval
;
and
Sissy
,
being
at
the
corner
of
a
row
on
the
sunny
side
,
came
in
for
the
beginning
of
a
sunbeam
,
of
which
Bitzer
,
being
at
the
corner
of
a
row
on
the
other
side
,
a
few
rows
in
advance
,
caught
the
end
.
But
,
whereas
the
girl
was
so
dark-eyed
and
dark-haired
,
that
she
seemed
to
receive
a
deeper
and
more
lustrous
colour
from
the
sun
,
when
it
shone
upon
her
,
the
boy
was
so
light-eyed
and
light-haired
that
the
self-same
rays
appeared
to
draw
out
of
him
what
little
colour
he
ever
possessed
.
His
cold
eyes
would
hardly
have
been
eyes
,
but
for
the
short
ends
of
lashes
which
,
by
bringing
them
into
immediate
contrast
with
something
paler
than
themselves
,
expressed
their
form
.
His
short-cropped
hair
might
have
been
a
mere
continuation
of
the
sandy
freckles
on
his
forehead
and
face
.
His
skin
was
so
unwholesomely
deficient
in
the
natural
tinge
,
that
he
looked
as
though
,
if
he
were
cut
,
he
would
bleed
white
.

Bitzer

said
Thomas
Gradgrind
.
'
Your
definition
of

Quadruped

Graminivorous

Forty

and

Sheds

Hoofs

but

iron

'
Thus
(
and
much
more
)
Bitzer
.
'
Now
girl
number
twenty
,
'
said
Mr.
Gradgrind
.
'
You
know
what
a
horse
is
.
'
She
curtseyed
again
,
and
would
have
blushed
deeper
,
if
she
could
have
blushed
deeper
than
she
had
blushed
all
this
time
.
Bitzer
,
after
rapidly
blinking
at
Thomas
Gradgrind
with
both
eyes
at
once
,
and
so
catching
the
light
upon
his
quivering
ends
of
lashes
that
they
looked
like
the
antennæ
of
busy
insects
,
put
his
knuckles
to
his
freckled
forehead
,
and
sat
down
again
.
The
third
gentleman
now
stepped
forth
.
A
mighty
man
at
cutting
and
drying
,
he
was
;
a
government
officer
;
in
his
way
(
and
in
most
other
people
's
too
)
,
a
professed
pugilist
;
always
in
training
,
always
with
a
system
to
force
down
the
general
throat
like
a
bolus
,
always
to
be
heard
of
at
the
bar
of
his
little
Public-office
,
ready
to
fight
all
England
.
To
continue
in
fistic
phraseology
,
he
had
a
genius
for
coming
up
to
the
scratch
,
wherever
and
whatever
it
was
,
and
proving
himself
an
ugly
customer
.
He
would
go
in
and
damage
any
subject
whatever
with
his
right
,
follow
up
with
his
left
,
stop
,
exchange
,
counter
,
bore
his
opponent
(
he
always
fought
All
England
)
to
the
ropes
,
and
fall
upon
him
neatly
.
He
was
certain
to
knock
the
wind
out
of
common
sense
,
and
render
that
unlucky
adversary
deaf
to
the
call
of
time
.
And
he
had
it
in
charge
from
high
authority
to
bring
about
the
great
public-office
Millennium
,
when
Commissioners
should
reign
upon
earth
.
