Yes, I am certainly thinking of it, though I\u003cbr\u003ehaven't at all made up my mind. There are advantages and disadvantages.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Oh, but it is such a long way, and to live among those French people,\u003cbr\u003ewho have been doing such dreadful things, attacking the Bastille,\u003cbr\u003eand, as I have heard you say, passing all sorts of revolutionary\u003cbr\u003elaws, and holding their king and queen almost as prisoners in\u003cbr\u003eParis!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Well, they won't eat him, my dear. The French Assembly, or the\u003cbr\u003eNational Assembly, or whatever it ought to be called, has certainly\u003cbr\u003ebeen passing laws limiting the power of the king and abolishing\u003cbr\u003emany of the rights and privileges of the nobility and clergy; but\u003cbr\u003eyou must remember that the condition of the vast body of the French\u003cbr\u003enation has been terrible. We have long conquered our liberties,\u003cbr\u003eand, indeed, never even in the height of the feudal system were the\u003cbr\u003emass of the English people more enslaved as have been the peasants\u003cbr\u003eof France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We must not be surprised, therefore, if in their newly-recovered\u003cbr\u003efreedom they push matters to an excess at first; but all this will\u003cbr\u003eright itself, and no doubt a constitutional form of government,\u003cbr\u003esomewhat similar to our own, will be established. But all this is\u003cbr\u003eno reason against Harry's going out there. You don't suppose that\u003cbr\u003ethe French people are going to fly at the throats of the nobility.\u003cbr\u003eWhy, even in the heat of the civil war here there was no instance\u003cbr\u003eof any personal wrong being done to the families of  those engaged\u003cbr\u003ein the struggle, and in only two or three cases, after repeated\u003cbr\u003erisings, were any even of the leaders executed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No; Harry will be just as safe there as he would be here. As to\u003cbr\u003ethe distance, it's nothing like so far as if he went to India, for\u003cbr\u003eexample.  I don't see any great chance of his setting the Thames\u003cbr\u003eon fire at home.  His school report is always the same--'Conduct\u003cbr\u003efair; progress in study moderate'--which means, as I take it, that\u003cbr\u003ehe just scrapes along. That's it, isn't it, Harry?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, father, I think so. You see every one cannot be at the top\u003cbr\u003eof the form.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"That's a very true observation, my boy. It is clear that if there\u003cbr\u003eare twenty boys in a class, nineteen fathers have to be disappointed.\u003cbr\u003eStill, of course, one would like to be the father who is not\u003cbr\u003edisappointed.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172207608048,"sku":"2940013321458","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013321458_p0.jpg?v=1763579843","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013321458","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
