"It is of such a nature that it does no harm to the person who takes it; the only effect of it being to cause a most profound sleep." They all entreated him to bring it without delay, and then they took their leave of him, after agreeing that on the following night they would make a hole in the turning-box with a gimlet, and that they would try and persuade their mistress to come down.
"Well," said the bluff old admiral, when they were sufficiently near to exchange words, "well, Miss Flora, you are looking a thousand times better than you were." "I thank you, admiral, I am much better." "Oh, to be sure you are; and you will be much better still, and no sort of mistake.

On the whole, they were nearly unanimous in agreeing that the school should prevent the monitors from any exercise of their authority.
I could not help agreeing with her that the conduct of her parents was most ungracious towards Madame Bathurst, but at the same time I pointed out to her how natural it was, that having but one daughter, her parents should wish for her return to their own care; that the resigning her to Madame Bathurst must have been a severe trial to them, and that it could only be from consulting her advantage that they could have consented to it; but notwithstanding all that I could urge, Caroline's indignation against her parents, of whom she knew but little, was very great, and her dislike to return home as strong.
