You may watch her at work if you know where to find her . But you will never see her do that . For , if she had , she knew quite well Tom would have fought , and kicked , and bit , and said bad words , and turned again that moment into a naughty little heathen chimney-sweep , with his hand , like Ishmael 's of old , against every man , and every man 's hand against him . Did she question him , hurry him , frighten him , threaten him , to make him confess ? Not a bit . You may see her , as I said , at her work often enough if you know where to look for her : but you will never see her do that . For , if she had , she would have tempted him to tell lies in his fright ; and that would have been worse for him , if possible , than even becoming a heathen chimney-sweep again . No . She leaves that for anxious parents and teachers -LRB- lazy ones , some call them -RRB- , who , instead of giving children a fair trial , such as they would expect and demand for themselves , force them by fright to confess their own faults -- which is so cruel and unfair that no judge on the bench dare do it to the wickedest thief or murderer , for the good British law forbids it -- ay , and even punish them to make them confess , which is so detestable a crime that it is never committed now , save by Inquisitors , and Kings of Naples , and a few other wretched people of whom the world is weary . And then they say , `` We have trained up the child in the way he should go , and when he grew up he has departed from it . Why then did Solomon say that he would not depart from it ? '' But perhaps the way of beating , and hurrying and frightening , and questioning , was not the way that the child should go ; for it is not even the way in which a colt should go if you want to break it in and make it a quiet serviceable horse . Some folks may say , `` Ah ! but the Fairy does not need to do that if she knows everything already . '' True . But , if she did not know , she would not surely behave worse than a British judge and jury ; and no more should parents and teachers either . So she just said nothing at all about the matter , not even when Tom came next day with the rest for sweet things . He was horribly afraid of coming : but he was still more afraid of staying away , lest any one should suspect him . He was dreadfully afraid , too , lest there should be no sweets -- as was to be expected , he having eaten them all -- and lest then the fairy should inquire who had taken them . But , behold !
she pulled out just as many XXXXX ever , which astonished Tom , and frightened him still more .
