- 23296: The Secret Sharer 2
- ... now becomes apparent that the captain finds himself, is in control of himself, and feels confident enough in himself to effectively command the ship.

The rigorous program taught by Mr. Gradgrind was not concurrent with many of the more common teaching theories and practices of today. It is generally accepted that in modern times, instruction ... even in his plan. The circus which stayed in Coketown for quite some time was somewhat of an opposing body on a small, hardly noticeable scale to the works and intent of Mr. Gradgrind.
