Final answer:
The question pertains to a situation involving a School Master, Sophie, and Agatha—which is not addressed in the supplied passages. With no relevant context or information in the excerpts provided, a direct answer to why the School Master could not send the two individuals home cannot be given.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to why the School Master could not send Sophie and Agatha home. However, the provided passages do not contain information about characters named Sophie and Agatha or a School Master's specific situation. The excerpts cover various themes and characters from unrelated texts and do not offer any context that explains why a School Master couldn't send two individuals home. Therefore, a direct answer to the student's question cannot be provided based on the given materials. It might be that the question relates to a specific novel or text not provided in the excerpts, and additional context would be necessary to give an accurate answer.
