"Have you any message for your mother?"
"Tell her I will write to her again soon. I ought to have done so before."
"You had better go home with me; I invite you to do so."

"It is sad, indeed, to see a boy of your age so refractory."

"What is that?"
"That you will leave the house."
"This is very improper and disrespectful. Of course I cannot do that. I shall remain to comfort and care for your mother."
