Do you think, if your mother had been you, and you your mother, and yourdaughter had struggled with you, as you did with her, that you wouldnot have been as apt as your mother was to have slapped your daughter'shands, to have made her quit her hold, and give up the prohibitedletter? Your mother told you, with great truth, that you provoked her to thisharshness; and it was a great condescension in her (and not taken noticeof by you as it deserved) to say that she was sorry for it.
