"If," suggested the Herald, "only the youths from public schools prove to be efficient officers, it would be well if the public schools, which were founded for the poor . . . should be given back to the classes for whom they were intended."

After Wyn leaves with Kitty's promise to meet him later at the steamer, Kitty has a long argument with her conscience, which suddenly appears as an image of herself in the bedroom mirror.
