‘
You
always
said
he
was
a
story
-
teller
,
’
sobbed
Dora
.
‘
And
now
you
say
the
same
of
me
!
Oh
,
what
shall
I
do
!
What
shall
I
do
!
’
‘
My
darling
girl
,
’
I
retorted
,
‘
I
really
must
entreat
you
to
be
reasonable
,
and
listen
to
what
I
did
say
,
and
do
say
.
My
dear
Dora
,
unless
we
learn
to
do
our
duty
to
those
whom
we
employ
,
they
will
never
learn
to
do
their
duty
to
us
.
I
am
afraid
we
present
opportunities
to
people
to
do
wrong
,
that
never
ought
to
be
presented
.
Even
if
we
were
as
lax
as
we
are
,
in
all
our
arrangements
,
by
choice
—
which
we
are
not
—
even
if
we
liked
it
,
and
found
it
agreeable
to
be
so
—
which
we
don
’
t
—
I
am
persuaded
we
should
have
no
right
to
go
on
in
this
way
.
We
are
positively
corrupting
people
.
We
are
bound
to
think
of
that
.
I
can
’
t
help
thinking
of
it
,
Dora
.
It
is
a
reflection
I
am
unable
to
dismiss
,
and
it
sometimes
makes
me
very
uneasy
.
There
,
dear
,
that
’
s
all
.
Come
now
.
Don
’
t
be
foolish
!

Dora
would
not
allow
me
,
for
a
long
time
,
to
remove
the
handkerchief
.
She
sat
sobbing
and
murmuring
behind
it
,
that
,
if
I
was
uneasy
,
why
had
I
ever
been
married
?
Why
hadn
’
t
I
said
,
even
the
day
before
we
went
to
church
,
that
I
knew
I
should
be
uneasy
,
and
I
would
rather
not
?
If
I
couldn
’
t
bear
her
,
why
didn
’
t
I
send
her
away
to
her
aunts
at
Putney
,
or
to
Julia
Mills
in
India
?
Julia
would
be
glad
to
see
her
,
and
would
not
call
her
a
transported
page
;
Julia
never
had
called
her
anything
of
the
sort
.
In
short
,
Dora
was
so
afflicted
,
and
so
afflicted
me
by
being
in
that
condition
,
that
I
felt
it
was
of
no
use
repeating
this
kind
of
effort
,
though
never
so
mildly
,
and
I
must
take
some
other
course
.
What
other
course
was
left
to
take
?
To
‘
form
her
mind
’
?
This
was
a
common
phrase
of
words
which
had
a
fair
and
promising
sound
,
and
I
resolved
to
form
Dora
’
s
mind
.
I
began
immediately
.
When
Dora
was
very
childish
,
and
I
would
have
infinitely
preferred
to
humour
her
,
I
tried
to
be
grave
—
and
disconcerted
her
,
and
myself
too
.
I
talked
to
her
on
the
subjects
which
occupied
my
thoughts
;
and
I
read
Shakespeare
to
her
—
and
fatigued
her
to
the
last
degree
.
I
accustomed
myself
to
giving
her
,
as
it
were
quite
casually
,
little
scraps
of
useful
information
,
or
sound
opinion
—
and
she
started
from
them
when
I
let
them
off
,
as
if
they
had
been
crackers
.
No
matter
how
incidentally
or
naturally
I
endeavoured
to
form
my
little
wife
’
s
mind
,
I
could
not
help
seeing
that
she
always
had
an
instinctive
perception
of
what
I
was
about
,
and
became
a
prey
to
the
keenest
apprehensions
.
In
particular
,
it
was
clear
to
me
,
that
she
thought
Shakespeare
a
terrible
fellow
.
The
formation
went
on
very
slowly
.

I
pressed
Traddles
into
the
service
without
his
knowledge
;
and
whenever
he
came
to
see
us
,
exploded
my
mines
upon
him
for
the
edification
of
Dora
at
second
hand
.
The
amount
of
practical
wisdom
I
bestowed
upon
Traddles
in
this
manner
was
immense
,
and
of
the
best
quality
;
but
it
had
no
other
effect
upon
Dora
than
to
depress
her
spirits
,
and
make
her
always
nervous
with
the
dread
that
it
would
be
her
turn
next
.
I
found
myself
in
the
condition
of
a
schoolmaster
,
a
trap
,
a
pitfall
;
of
always
playing
spider
to
Dora
’
s
fly
,
and
always
pouncing
out
of
my
hole
to
her
infinite
disturbance
.
Still
,
looking
forward
through
this
intermediate
stage
,
to
the
time
when
there
should
be
a
perfect
sympathy
between
Dora
and
me
,
and
when
I
should
have
‘
formed
her
mind
’
to
my
entire
satisfaction
,
I
persevered
,
even
for
months
.
Finding
at
last
,
however
,
that
,
although
I
had
been
all
this
time
a
very
porcupine
or
hedgehog
,
bristling
all
over
with
determination
,
I
had
effected
nothing
,
it
began
to
occur
to
me
that
perhaps
Dora
’
s
mind
was
already
formed
.
On
further
consideration
this
appeared
so
likely
,
that
I
abandoned
my
scheme
,
which
had
had
a
more
promising
appearance
in
words
than
in
action
;
resolving
henceforth
to
be
satisfied
with
my
child
-
wife
,
and
to
try
to
change
her
into
nothing
else
by
any
process
.
I
was
heartily
tired
of
being
sagacious
and
prudent
by
myself
,
and
of
seeing
my
darling
under
restraint
;
so
I
bought
a
pretty
pair
of
ear
-
rings
for
her
,
and
a
collar
for
Jip
,
and
went
home
one
day
to
make
myself
agreeable
.
