But I should wrong thee, O best of fathers! if I suffered the reader to suppose that because thou didst seem so indifferent to my birth, and so careless as to my early teaching, therefore thou wert, at heart, indifferent to thy troublesome Neogilos. As I grew older, I became more sensibly aware that a father's eye was upon me.
"And then the Neogilos shall go to school, upo kolpo, the nurse with him, and all will be right again," said my father, with a look of sly, mysterious humor which was peculiar to him. "School! when he's just born?" "Can't begin too soon," said my father, positively; "that's Helvetius' opinion, and it is mine too!"
