Tooke's conversation with his mother about the sort of education that he considered most fit for some boys from India, who had only a certain time to devote to school-learning.
Harry must be left below, as the leads were a forbidden place for him. So Harry went to Jane, to see her dish up greengage plums which he must not touch: and Hugh ran up the stairs. As he passed through the passage, his mother called him. Tooke's eyes fixed on him. But his mother only wanted him to shut the door as he passed; that was all. It had stood open, as it usually did on warm days.
There were loud exclamations from many against Phil, against one another, and against themselves; and now everybody was eager to go. Phil stopped all who had started off, saying that it was his business; and the next moment, Phil was at Mr Tooke's study-door, asking leave of absence till supper. "Little Holt has been beforehand with you," said Mr Tooke.
Such words, he remarks, as 'right' and 'just' mean simply that which is ordered or commanded. The chapter is headed 'rights of man, and Tooke's interlocutor naturally observes that this is a singular result for a democrat. Man, it would seem, has no rights except the rights created by the law.
Dale's curiosity was so strong, that Hugh saw how dangerous it was to have tantalised it. He had to remind his friend of Mr. Tooke's having put all the boys upon honour not to inquire on this subject. This brought Dale to himself; and he promised never again to urge Hugh, or encourage his speaking of the matter at all. They then went to story-telling; but it would not do to-day.
There Philip would condescend to spend a part of his mornings, in his Midsummer holidays, frightening his sisters with climbing about in dangerous places, or amusing them with stories of school-pranks, or raising his younger brother Hugh's envy of the boys who were so happy as to be old enough to go to school at Mr. Tooke's, at Crofton.
He saw that Tooke's pain was worse than his own, and he added, in a faint whisper, "Don't you tell, and then nobody will know. Mind you don't!" One boy after another turned away from the sight of his foot, when the stone was removed. Tooke fainted, but, then, so did another boy who had nothing to do with the matter. Everybody who came up asked who did it; and nobody could answer.
"You will see Mr. Horne Tooke's advertisement to-day in the papers; what do you think of that to complete the thing? Bishop Dixon has just called from the hustings: he says the late Recorder.
Carnaby's nose which made everybody sorry now for Dale: but everybody started, Mr. Carnaby and all, at Mr. Tooke's voice, close at hand. How much he had seen and heard, there was no knowing; but it was enough to make him look extremely stern. "Are these boys not caned yet, Mr. Carnaby?" "No, sir; I have not I " "Have they been standing here all this while?" "Yes, sir. I have no cane, sir.
Hugh thought that Holt, who had put him up to the most offensive part of the pictures, might have borne him company; but Holt was a timid boy, and he really had not courage to leave his seat. So Hugh stood alone, awaiting Mr. Tooke's awful words, while the whole of the first class looked up from their books, in expectation of what was to happen.
