He just set himself to please her, and he never found it easier than that afternoon.
Meantime Dr.Amboyne got Raby alone, and begged leave, in the first place, to premise that his (Raby's) nephew was a remarkable man.

To prove it, he related Little's whole battle with the Hillsborough Trades; and then produced a report the young man had handed him that very day.
It was actually in his pocket during the fight, mute protest against that barbarous act.
The Report was entitled--"LIFE, LABOR AND CAPITAL IN HILLSBOROUGH," and was divided into two parts.
Part 1 was entitled--"PECULIARITIES OF CUTLERY HURTFUL TO LIFE AND HEALTH." And part 2 was entitled--"The REMEDIES TO THE ABOVE." Part 2 was divided thus:-- A.What the masters could do.
B.What the workmen could do.
C.What the Legislature could do.
Part 1 dealt first with the diseases of the grinders; but instead of quoting it, I ask leave to refer to Chapter VIII., where the main facts lie recorded.
Having thus curtailed the Report, I print the remainder in an Appendix, for the use of those few readers who can endure useful knowledge in works of this class.
Raby read the report without moving a muscle.
"Well, what do you think of him ?" asked Amboyne.
"I think he is a fool to trouble his head whether these animals live or die." "Oh, that is my folly; not his.

At bottom, he cares no more than you do." "Then I retract my observation." "As to its being folly, or as to Little being the fool ?" "Whichever you like best." "Thank you.

Well, but to be serious, this young man is very anxious to be a master, instead of a man.

What do you say?
Will you help his ambition, and my sacred hobby ?" "What, plunge you deeper in folly, and him in trade?
Not I.I don't approve folly, I hate trade.
