Excerpt from The Next Street but One

Certainly such mothers are wiser than an acquaint ance who began teaching her little daughter, aged four, to read French. One day, irritated by the child's incapacity, she said, Go away, you little stupid! Mother, I'm not stupid, protested the child indignantly, I'm not of age for such learning. The turn of the phrase suggested that this was a quotation from her nurse, but the aptness and readiness of the retort proved her point.
