Sophia declared that they had been talking, up to the last minute, about Miss Young, and learning German, and being philosophical.
Enderby had gone to his study Nell began: "Mamma, do you know Reine has got a bee in her bonnet!" "My dear, where did you get such an expression?" "Never mind. It is quite accurate. She believes that Hetty is her sister who was drowned when she was a baby." Mrs. Enderby looked at Reine with a face of extreme surprise.
It's to be very aesthetic, and it's going to be called The Lion's Head Inn. There's to be a little theatre, for amateur dramatics, which I could conduct, and for all sorts of professional amusements. If you should ever come, Molly, I'm sure we shall do our best to make you comfortable." Mary Enderby would not let Bessie laugh upon her shoulder after she said this.

Enderby is a man to be reckoned with.

Have you ever heard the teachers or boys here use it?" "White man, English," came the quick reply. "That's it; you have described it exactly.
Hetty instantly, and for the first time in her life, felt keenly that she was a dunce.

Mr Enderby, meanwhile, was behaving civilly to Margaret and Sophia; that is to say, he was somewhat more than merely civil to Margaret, and somewhat less to Sophia.
