The traditions of the Royal Navy are always the mainspring of life in the Beauchamps’ nursery; they “carry on” under the auspices of Nelson, and in obedience to his signal they do what England expects! Duty is their watchword, and Ben is their model. Nurse often stands amazed at an obedience that is almost alarming; but when she begins to think that Miss Susie or Master Tom is growing too good to live, she is generally reassured by some quite unlooked-for crime, and, to her relief, the “troublesome comforts” remain troublesome.
