were undone They went back to the routine of interminable ‘copies’ and
interminable ‘practice’ sums, to the learmng parrot-fashion of c Passez-moi le

History and the insufferable little ‘reader’ (Mrs Creevy had impounded the
Shakespeares, ostensibly to burn them The probability was that she had sold
them ) Two hours a day were set apart for handwriting lessons The two
depressing pieces of black paper, which Dorothy had taken down from the
wall, were replaced, and their proverbs written upon them afresh m neat
copperplate As for the historical chart, Mrs Creevy took it away and burnt it
When the children saw the hated lessons, from which they had thought to
have escaped for ever, coming back upon them one by one, they were first
astonished, then miserable, then sulky But it was far worse for Dorothy than
for the children After only a couple of days the rigmarole through which she
was obliged to drive them so nauseated her that she began to doubt whether
she could go on with it any longer Again and again she toyed with the idea of
disobeying Mrs Creevy Why not, she would think, as the children whined and

accordant with our being--but that those who rise above the ordinary
nature of man, fade from before our imperfect organs; they remain in
their "love, beauty, and delight," in a world congenial to them, and
we, clogged by "error, ignorance, and strife," see them not till we
are fitted by purification and improvement to their higher state.
