Clemence protested it was nothing, and that a cup of their good tea would rest her, and the worthy couple immediately set about loading her plate with food enough to have satisfied the appetite of a plough-boy. And as soon as she could slip away, she left the table. Her hostess soon followed her, to try on the new dress.
But then, Pamela, said he, I should not have loved you so well. But then, sir, I should have been safe, easy, and happy. Ay, may be so, and may be not; and the wife, too, of some clouterly plough-boy. But then, sir, I should have been content and innocent; and that's better than being a princess, and not so. I hope, sir, said I, God would have given me more grace.
They will not at once turn every plough-boy into a philosopher, nor send us Liebigs to milk the cows; but to every plough-boy and dairyman in the country they will give a new and a wider horizon. They will bring fresh and manly incentives into the domain of toil.
He noticed that the world was not what it had been to him, as it had appeared, for example, when he was a plough-boy, the time of his life he remembered most vividly, but it was not the fault of his senses; the mirror was all right, it was the world that had grown dim.
"She is too big a devil," they said, "to care a fig for any man. She would laugh in the face of the mightiest lady-killer in London, and flout him as if he were a mercer's apprentice or a plough-boy.

"Because they were made to grow." "Why can't I fly, too?" "Because you were made to run." When Hetty went into the school she had a scratch from a briar all across her cheek.
For what good would that do me, you know, Sir! I have a confounded mischievous one by nature too, I think! A good motion now-and-then rises from it: but it dies away presently a love of intrigue an invention for mischief a triumph in subduing fortune encouraging and supporting and a constitution What signifies palliating? But I believe I had been a rogue, had I been a plough-boy.
I remember, in my plough-boy days, I could not conceive it possible that a noble lord could be a fool, or a godly man could be a knave. How ignorant are plough-boys! Nay, I have since discovered that a godly woman may be a ! But hold here's t'ye again this rum is generous Antigua, so a very unfit menstruum for scandal. Apropos, how do you like, I mean really like, the married life?
He didn't say anything at the time; didn't scream, or anything of that sort; but after he got home he was taken ill, and the next day he died. My father was one of the jury on the inquest. He was a little chap with no father or mother a plough-boy."
It may perhaps be maintained, that with time and patience, one might train a rather stupid plough-boy to understand the differential calculus. This might be done with the help of an inward desire on the part of the boy to learn, but never otherwise.
