Little Tom pulls out a piece of his lunch bread from his pocket and gives it to poor Jody. With tears of joy in his dirty little eyes, Jody crams the bread, lint and all, into his hungry mouth. He say from the bottom of his heart,

"Dunk yoo. Yoo ra too kine."

"What did you say? Have you ever read a conduct manual? You should not talk with your mouth full." Little Tom pertly remarks.

"Yoo eedeeot. Aye thesÉ Dunnk yooo. Yooo ra tooo kiin."

"HmmmÉ I can not understand you. Perhaps, it is because you are from the lower class. You are a fellow man and I will act with Christian-like sympathy for you, but for now, let us reinforce those social divisions between the upper and lower classes and part our separate ways."

"All Rye. Goo bye."

"Good bye, Jody. "

Little Tom decides that he has learned several important lessons in his walk through the forest. Yet, he feels that he must return to his house, to civilization. His philosophy on the state of education for the English lad has shifted from a Roussean focus to a Lockean theoretical model. This shift parallels the contemporary societal view on perceptions of childhood during the eighteenth century. Little Tom realizes that he is a "tabulas rasa" and needs to return to his tutor if he wants to be shaped into a fine upstanding gentleman. Besides that, it is near dinner time and it is time to go home.
