Pain and hunger alone will tame brutes , and the same remedy must be applied to conquer those passions in man which assimilate him with brutes . Johnny was conducted to bed , although it was but six o'clock . He was not only in pain , but his ideas were confused ; and no wonder , after all his life having been humoured and indulged -- never punished until the day before . After all the caresses of his mother and Sarah , which he never knew the value of -- after stuffing himself all day long , and being tempted to eat till he turned away in satiety , to find himself without his mother , without Sarah , without supper -- covered with weals , and , what was worse than all , without his own way . No wonder Johnny was confused ; at the same time that he was subdued ; and , as Mr Bonnycastle had truly told him , he had learned more than he had any idea of .
