Էջ 127 - Now, I'll try you again. Suppose you were going to carpet a room. Would you use a carpet having a representation of flowers upon it?" There being a general conviction by this time that "No, sir!" was always the right answer to this gentleman, the chorus of No was very strong. Only a few feeble stragglers said Yes; among them Sissy Jupe. "Girl number twenty," said the gentleman, smiling in the calm strength of knowledge.
Էջ 126 - ... Mr. Gradgrind frowned, and waved off the objectionable calling with his hand. " We don't want to know anything about that, here. You mustn't tell us about that, here. Your father breaks horses, don't he?" " If you please, sir, when they can get any to break, they do break horses in the ring, sir.
