The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Madam How and Lady Why by Charles Kingsley: up your mind to it, as the geese do to going barefoot.
But why may I not go?
Because I am not Madam How, but your Daddy.
What can that have to do with it?
If you asked Madam How, do you know what she would answer in a
moment, as civilly and kindly as could be? She would say--Oh yes,
go by all means, and please yourself, my pretty little man. My
world is the Paradise which the Irishman talked of, in which "a
man might do what was right in the sight of his own eyes, and what
was wrong too, as he liked it."
Then Madam How would let me go in the yacht?
