[At the assembly to see Smike flogged for running away]

Mr. Squeers:
Is every boy here? Get back! You too Nickleby!
[to Smike]

Mr. Squeers:
And you. Have you anything to say?
Smike:
[Crying]
Please, sir, spare me.
Mr. Squeers:
I'll spare you. I'll flog you to within an inch of your life, and I'll spare you then.
[Squeers strikes him once, Smike cries out in pain]

Nicholas:
Stop! This must not go on. I will not allow it.
Mr. Squeers:
You dare to challenge my authority! Stay back!
Nicholas:
Touch him at your peril! I will not stand by and see it done.
Mr. Squeers:
You will do as you're told!
Nicholas:
If you raise the devil within me, the consequences shall fall on your own head! Once I begin, God help you!
[Nicholas grabs the stick and starts hitting Squeers with it]

Mr. Squeers:
Stop! No, please, wait!
Nicholas:
I do not know why, but I am going to show you what you have never shown any boy in this room... Pity.
[Nicholas cuts down Smike and helps him out]
