Murdstone: David, if I have an obstenent dog or horse to deal with, what do you think I do? I beat him. I make him wince and smart. I say to myself, "I'll conquer that fellow, and even if it costs him every drop of blood he has, I'll do it."
[Grasps David firmly]
Murdstone: Do we understand each other?
[David nods]
Murdstone: Good.
[Strokes David's head]
Murdstone: Now wash your face and come downstairs directly.
