Excerpt from The Angel of the Household
If you say that again, I'll box your ears ofl' And Mrs. Harding took two long strides toward the lad, who, knowing something about the weight of her hand, shrunk, muttering, away, and contented himself with thinking all manner of rebellious things, and purposing all kinds of disobedience.
For a few minutes, after Lotty ceased crying, there was Silence in the room 5 not a pleasant, but a gloomy, forced silence. Then Lucy, six years Old, and Philip, between four and five, who had been frightened from their play by the scene just described, drew together Once more, and commenced rebuilding a block house, which Andrew had wantonly thrown down. Their work, as it again pro gressed, this bad boy watched with an evil eye, and, just as it was near completion, wantonly swept again the fabric into ruins. Unable to control their indignation at this second unprovoked violation of their rights, the outraged brother and sister, as if moved by a single impulse, threw themselves upon Andrew, and with fists, nails, and teeth, sought to do him all the injury in their power. Fierce was the struggle, and long would it have continued, but the mother's interference. She did not stop to sepa rate them, but, with her open hand, dealt each such rapid and vigorous blows about the head and ears, that they were soon glad to retreat, crying with pain, into Opposite parts of the room.
