"You look anxious and excitable.  I dislike a woman showing any emotion.  Of course, you are only a child yet, but I trust if I have the care of you, which I fully expect to have--for it is scarcely likely you will for a single moment win this ridiculous Scholarship--I trust that I shall send you out to your father a well-mannered and decorous woman.  I have the greatest dislike to the manners of the present day, and the new sort of girl who is growing up so rapidly in our midst is thoroughly abhorrent to me."
