Phelim now shot up rapidly to the stature of a young man; and a graceful slip was he. From the period of fifteen until nineteen, he was industriously employed in idleness.

His life was a pleasanter one.

Dicky seemed only idly watching the moving figures by the hospital. "Yes, but what is it? I can't inoculate him with bacilli. That's what'd do the work, I fancy."

In the course of our walk he professed a very sincere and warm friendship for me, and promised himself a world of pleasure in my society; and he frankly and unblushingly informed me, that he had brought with him from Oxford a bad venereal complaint, which, he added, was most unfortunate, as he was fearful that he should inoculate all the pretty damsels belonging to his new flock, which would be a cursed Bore.

"If it were only possible to inoculate your heart with a little genuine womanly charity, if it were possible to persuade you to adopt as your rule of conduct that golden one which Christ gave as a patent of peace to all who followed it. But it is futile, hopeless. You will not, you will not, and my fluttering dove is at the mercy of a famished eagle, already poised to swoop.
