The penalty for circulating this last rumor was immediate dismissal with prejudice. The latter was as much the measure of the importance of an industry as what it made or how much. That there was design in the egg-box compartmentation of workspaces, for example, was obvious enough.
'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.
Let us take a more pleasant aspect of the insect whose loves are so tragic. Its nest is a marvel. In scientific language it is known as the ootek, or the "egg-box." I shall not make use of this barbarous expression. As one does not speak of the "egg-box" of the titmouse, meaning "the nest of the titmouse," why should I invoke the box in speaking of the Mantis?
However, I preferred to see that matter done myself, and told her to send the little maid for the frying-pan and the egg-box. She said that it was the climate for even upon that subject she requested my opinion and I answered, "if there be a change, let madam blame the seasons." And what was the meaning of the emblem set above her doorway, a very unattractive cat sitting in a ruined tree?
He bent over, laid hold of an egg-box, and began to worry it out from under the lashing. "Drop it! Drop it, I say!" Rasmunsen had managed to draw his revolver, and with the crook of his arm over the sweep head, was taking aim. The correspondent stood up on the thwart, balancing back and forth, his face twisted with menace and speechless anger. "My God!"

'Who told you that? sneered the orator. 'Comrade Berl or Comrade Schmerl? The boy missed the sarcasm of the rhyme. 'You know Schmerl's a mere milk-blooded "Attainer," he said angrily. 'Believe me, was the soothing reply, 'even beyond the Five Freedoms the boycott is a better "Attainer" than the bomb. 'Traitor! Bourgeois! And a third boy jumped upon the egg-box.
And Dooble Sanny, though not too religious to get drunk occasionally, was a great deal too religious to play his fiddle on the Sabbath: he would not willingly anger the powers above; but it was sometimes a sore temptation, especially after he got possession of old Mr. Falconer's wonderful instrument. 'Hoots, man! he would say to Robert; 'dinna han'le, her as gin she war an egg-box.
'Do it at once, said Bounderby, 'has always been my motto from a child. When I thought I would run away from my egg-box and my grandmother, I did it at once. Do you the same. Do this at once! 'Are you walking? asked his friend. 'I have the father's address. Perhaps you would not mind walking to town with me? 'Not the least in the world, said Mr. Bounderby, 'as long as you do it at once!
Here the egg-box collapsed under the weight of the three orators, and they sprawled in equal ignominy. But the storm was now launched. A score of the schoolboys burst into passionate abstract discussion. The unity necessary to the school strike was shattered into fragments.
