Answer:
When he came back she would ask her what the teacher had taught him. He would tell her English words and little things of western science and learning,the law of gravity, Archimedes' principle, the world being round, etc. This made her unhappy. She could not help me with my lessons.She did not believe in the things they taught at the English school and was distressed that there was no teaching about God and the scriptures.One day, he announced that we were being given music lessons.She was very disturbed. To her music had lewd associations.It was the monopoly of harlots and beggars and not meant for gentlefolk.She said nothing but her silence meant disapproval. She rarely talked to the author after that.
