Mrs.
Gradgrind
meekly
and
weakly
hoped
that
his
mother
--
'
My
mother
?
Bolted
,
ma'am
!
'
said
Bounderby
.
Mrs.
Gradgrind
,
stunned
as
usual
,
collapsed
and
gave
it
up
.
'
My
mother
left
me
to
my
grandmother
,
'
said
Bounderby
;
'
and
,
according
to
the
best
of
my
remembrance
,
my
grandmother
was
the
wickedest
and
the
worst
old
woman
that
ever
lived
.
If
I
got
a
little
pair
of
shoes
by
any
chance
,
she
would
take
'em
off
and
sell
'em
for
drink
.
Why
,
I
have
known
that
grandmother
of
mine
lie
in
her
bed
and
drink
her
four-teen
glasses
of
liquor
before
breakfast
!
'
Mrs.
Gradgrind
,
weakly
smiling
,
and
giving
no
other
sign
of
vitality
,
looked
(
as
she
always
did
)
like
an
indifferently
executed
transparency
of
a
small
female
figure
,
without
enough
light
behind
it
.
'
She
kept
a
chandler
's
shop
,
'
pursued
Bounderby
,
'
and
kept
me
in
an
egg-box
.
That
was
the
cot
of
my
infancy
;
an
old
egg-box
.
As
soon
as
I
was
big
enough
to
run
away
,
of
course
I
ran
away
.
Then
I
became
a
young
vagabond
;
and
instead
of
one
old
woman
knocking
me
about
and
starving
me
,
everybody
of
all
ages
knocked
me
about
and
starved
me
.
They
were
right
;
they
had
no
business
to
do
anything
else
.
I
was
a
nuisance
,
an
incumbrance
,
and
a
pest
.
I
know
that
very
well
.
'
His
pride
in
having
at
any
time
of
his
life
achieved
such
a
great
social
distinction
as
to
be
a
nuisance
,
an
incumbrance
,
and
a
pest
,
was
only
to
be
satisfied
by
three
sonorous
repetitions
of
the
boast
.
'
I
was
to
pull
through
it
,
I
suppose
,
Mrs.
Gradgrind
.
Whether
I
was
to
do
it
or
not
,
ma'am
,
I
did
it
.
I
pulled
through
it
,
though
nobody
threw
me
out
a
rope
.
Vagabond
,
errand-boy
,
vagabond
,
labourer
,
porter
,
clerk
,
chief
manager
,
small
partner
,
Josiah
Bounderby
of
Coketown
.
Those
are
the
antecedents
,
and
the
culmination
.
Josiah
Bounderby
of
Coketown
learnt
his
letters
from
the
outsides
of
the
shops
,
Mrs.
Gradgrind
,
and
was
first
able
to
tell
the
time
upon
a
dial-plate
,
from
studying
the
steeple
clock
of
St.
Giles
's
Church
,
London
,
under
the
direction
of
a
drunken
cripple
,
who
was
a
convicted
thief
,
and
an
incorrigible
vagrant
.
Tell
Josiah
Bounderby
of
Coketown
,
of
your
district
schools
and
your
model
schools
,
and
your
training
schools
,
and
your
whole
kettle-of-fish
of
schools
;
and
Josiah
Bounderby
of
Coketown
,
tells
you
plainly
,
all
right
,
all
correct
--
he
had
n't
such
advantages
--
but
let
us
have
hard-headed
,
solid-fisted
people
--
the
education
that
made
him
wo
n't
do
for
everybody
,
he
knows
well
--
such
and
such
his
education
was
,
however
,
and
you
may
force
him
to
swallow
boiling
fat
,
but
you
shall
never
force
him
to
suppress
the
facts
of
his
life
.
'
Being
heated
when
he
arrived
at
this
climax
,
Josiah
Bounderby
of
Coketown
stopped
.
He
stopped
just
as
his
eminently
practical
friend
,
still
accompanied
by
the
two
young
culprits
,
entered
the
room
.
