In the interview which followed between him and Mrs. Reed, I presume, from after-occurrences, that the apothecary ventured to recommend my being sent to school; and the recommendation was no doubt readily enough adopted; for as Abbot said, in discussing the subject with Bessie when both sat sewing in the nursery one night, after I was in bed, and, as they thought, asleep, "Missis was, she dared say, glad enough to get rid of such a tiresome, ill-conditioned child, who always looked as if she were watching everybody, and scheming plots underhand."
Egy este Abbot és Bessie a gyerekszobában varrogatott. Azt hitték, alszom. - Az úrnő - hallottam Abbot hangját - nagyon örül, hogy megszabadulhat egy ilyen neveletlen gyermektől, aki mindenkinek csak terhére van, és mindig mintha lesben állna, és valami gonoszságon törné a fejét.
