I am sorry he has turned out so badly; however,I will have him up here and speak to him. This sort ofthing cannot be permitted. And accordingly orders were given to the in the evening Mr. Eobertson informed Eichard whathe had done, the boy flew into a terrible passion, and abusedhis tutor with a violence of language which shocked andastonished him, and opened his eyes to his own culpabilityin allowing him to go on his way unchecked.
