"You go to Brighton! I would not trust you so near it as

Eastbourne, for fifty pounds! No, Kitty, I have at least learnt

to be cautious, and you will feel the effects of it. No officer

is ever to enter my house again, nor even to pass through the

village. Balls will be absolutely prohibited, unless you stand up

with one of your sisters. And you are never to stir out of doors,

till you can prove that you have spent ten minutes of every day

in a rational manner."

a good girl for the next ten years, I will take you to a review

at the end of them."
