It is proverbial that walls have ears. I hope the Dewsdale walls may have tongues, and favour you with a little information. "3rd.
"Rum lot of people you must run across in your line, Mr. Headland. Shouldn't take you for a detective myself, shouldn't even in a room full of them. College man, aren't you? Thought so. Oxon or Cantab?" "Cantab Emmanuel." "Oh, Lord! Never thought I'd ever live to appeal to an Emmanuel man to do anything brilliant. I'm an Oxon chap; Brasenose is my alma mater. I say, Mr.
Now and then you might see the curious puzzled face of some greenhorn about town, or perhaps a Cantab; and men of grave age, and grayhaired, were there, and amongst them a wondrous proportion of carbuncled faces and bottle-noses. And when John Burley entered, there was a shout that made William Pitt shake in his frame. Such stamping and hallooing, and such hurrahs for "Burley John."
Querela Cantab. in Merc. away; part after part was detached from the edifice; and the reformers hastened to raise what they deemed a more scriptural fabric on the ruins.
"Brooks, for they called you so that knew you best Old Brooks, who loved so well to mouth my rhymes, How oft we two have heard St. Mary's chimes!

"To Montagu, Lord Treasurer," and
Fifteen letters followed, signed "Cantab," "Oxoniensis," and so forth, some recommending one course, some another. One, signed "X.Y.Z.," included "The Righteous Man" which will be found in the last group of this volume, headed "Poems." Sir: I am sorry for your correspondent "An Earnest Clergyman" for, though he may say he has "come to smile at his troubles," his smile seems to be a grim one.
In London it is of less consequence whether he please in general society or not, since if he can establish himself as a genius it will only be called "Pretty Fanny's Way."
