"The three Fates are too many for you; and don't sulk, whatever you do, there's a dear boy, but make yourself nice and propose to take Tom and Jill and me across to Pulpit Island to-morrow.
That comfort comes of "accepting the situation." Now here you are at school, I will say, for three hours. Accept the situation, like a man or a woman, and do not sulk like a fool.
