Synopsis

Excerpt from The Two Schools: A Moral Tale "Well then-but first, mamma, tell me if I have not taken more pains than usual to oblige and please you and papa." "How far back do you intend that I should date your period of amendment? An hour, or a day, or a week, or how long?" "0! much longer than that, mamma," replied Augusta, indignantly, while her cheek reddened with offended pride. "But it is always that way; however much I try, I never can succeed." "There is so little justice in that assertion," returned the mother, "that I think we had better, before we go any further, Lake a short survey of your efforts to please. We will begin with last Monday: pray, what was the reason of Mr. Morton's going to your papa and declining to be your music teacher any longer?" "Because I told him I would not practise any longer than I liked for any teacher whatever." "And was thus trying to please your father and me, Augusta?" asked the mother, gently. "You know the high value we set upon Mr. Morton, both as a man and as a teacher, and must, therefore, be sure that it gave us great pain to find that you had deprived yourself of the advantage of his instructions." "But he had no business to say that he insisted on my practising. What business, prey, had he to insist upon any thing from me? He ought to remember that I am not a child now." "As your teacher, he had a right to insist upon your performing the duties connected with the branch he taught."
