While they were busy in examining these different processes, they were alarmed by a sudden noise of discord which broke out on the other side of the building ; and the master inquiring into the cause, was told, that it was only Little Jack, who was fighting with Tom the collier. At this the master cried out in a passion, " There is no peace to be expected in the furnace while that boy is employed ; send him to me, and I will instantly discharge him. " At this moment Jack appeared, all covered w...ith blood and dirt, and stood before his angry judge in a modest but resolute posture. " Is this the reward, " said his master, "you little audacious fellow, for all LITTLE JACK. my kindness ? Can you never refrain a single instant from broils and fighting ? But I am determined to bear it no longer ; and therefore you shall never, from this hour, do a single stroke of work for me. " "Sir, " replied Little Jack, with great humility, but yet with firmness, "I am extremely sorry to have dis- obliged you, nor have I ever done it willingly, since I have been here ; and if the other boys would only mind their business as well as I do, and not molest me, you would not have been offended now ; for, I defy them all to say, that, since I have been in the house, I have ever given any one the least provocation, or ever refused, to the utmost of my strength, to do whatever 1 have been ordered.
