The mistress, raving, slapped her on the face, and the servant, to be even with her, returned the compliment and ran away.

The doctor left me there, saying that I could not enter his school unless I was sent to him as clean as the other boys.

The result for me was a very sharp rebuke, with the threat, as a finishing stroke, that if I ever caused such a broil again, I would be ignominiously turned out of the house.
I could not make it out; I had just entered life, and I had no knowledge of any other place but the house in which I had been born, in which I had been brought up, and in which I had always seen cleanliness and honest comfort.

Here I found myself ill-treated, scolded, although it did not seem possible that any blame could be attached to me.

At last the old shrew tossed a shirt in my face, and an hour later I saw a new servant changing the sheets, after which we had our dinner.
My schoolmaster took particular care in instructing me.
