Good advice from Mr. Gibson, after a really long week

'We'll soon bring you about...Go home now, you've had enough exercise for the middle of a day as hot as this is. And don''t mope in the house, listening to the maunderings of your stupid instinct.'

from Wives and Daughters, by Elizabeth Gaskell {Chapter 29}
