E-book One Great Family : Domestic Relationships in Samuel Richardson’s Novels
But that I may know with certainty how far we agree or differ, will you give me leave,for once, to be a saucy girl, and catechise my adopted papa? Though indeed I do notmean to do it saucily, but really and truly for my information. For when you left itto me to make the applications, inferences, and conclusions, from all the quotations,stories, and observations you produced, you left me a task which would have beenmuch better performed by yourself; my head is not clear enough to do it as I ought.Permit me then, my dear sir, to put it upon you to decide on the questions I am goingto put: and when I have your positive answer to these, I shall know whether we haveall this while been arguing about words, and whether what Mr. Locke calls honour,what I called gratitude, and what you called duty, be indeed the same thing or not.
