John C., Rector of Great Berkhampstead, Herts, and Chaplain to George II. His grandfather was a judge, and he was the grand-nephew of the 1st Earl C., the eminent Lord Chancellor. A shy and timid child, the death of his mother when he was 6 years old, and the sufferings inflicted upon him by a bullying schoolfellow at his first school, wounded his tender and shrinking spirit irrecoverably.
We boys were average lads, with much the same inherent capacity for good and evil as any others; but the people who were set over us cared about as much for our intellectual and moral welfare as if they were baby-farmers. We were left to the operation of the struggle for existence among ourselves, and bullying was the least of the ill practices current among us.
As much as possible I keep away from English-frequented hotels in Italy and Switzerland because I find that if I do not go to service on Sunday I am made uncomfortable. It is this bullying that I want to do away with. As regards Christianity I should hope and think that I am more Christian than not. People ought to be allowed to leave their cards at church, instead of going inside.
"Do you think your father and me grafted them peach trees, and coaxed 'em on into bearing, for you to feed niggers with them?" "I've a right to do what I like with the fruit, if I don't eat it," I said, angrily. "Oh, very well; I've done. Seems to me that if master's to be always bullying me on one side, and you on the other, the sooner I make up my bundle and go home to Carnarvon, the better."
Men of middle age, rather early middle age, remember the two following species of bullying to which they were subjected, and which, perhaps, are obsolescent.

She sat down on the sofa as a sign that she was going to wait. "Till who comes?" Gwenda asked. She stared at the three with a fierce amazement. And they were abashed. "She doesn't know, Steve," said Mary. "I certainly don't," said Gwenda. She sat down beside Ally. "Has anybody been bullying you, Ally?" "They've all been bullying me except Steven. Steven's been an angel.
But for your infernal, silly cackle I'd as soon have gone to the devil as to him. If I'd only had myself and my own feeling to think about Bessie or no Bessie I'd have hanged myself sooner than have gone to him. But I'd got more than that." His voice had fallen from its bullying key to a toneless melancholy. Mrs.
I tell you what, my fellow, I thought you were a robber, and now I find you are not; I have a good mind 'To do what? 'To serve you out; aren't you ashamed ? 'At what? said I; 'not to have robbed you? Shall I set about it now? 'Ha, ha! said the man, dropping the bullying tone which he had assumed; 'you are joking robbing! who talks of robbing?
Whenever he heard anyone holding forth: the landlady, this doctor, the spokesman on the pit bank: or when he read the all-righteous newspaper; his soul curdled with revulsion as from something foul. Even the infernal love and good-will of his wife. To hell with good-will! It was more hateful than ill-will. Self-righteous bullying, like poison gas! The landlady looked at the clock.
There is your little Tom, just ten, ordering the great, large, quiet, orderly young man about shrieking calls for hot water bullying Jeames because the boots are not varnished enough, or ordering him to go to the stables, and ask Jenkins why the deuce Tomkins hasn't brought his pony round or what you will.
