Through the bounty of this pupil we get the scientist otherwise, Ray would surely have been starved into subjection. Willughby took Ray to the home of his parents, who were rich people. Ray undertook the education of young Willughby, very much as Aristotle took charge of Alexander. Willughby and Ray traveled, studied, observed and wrote.
Like a diabolic litany boomed the questions and answers: "Day and night we must have but one thought inexorable destruction." And Arthur recalled how this pupil of Bakounine had with the assistance of Pryow and Nicolajew beguiled a certain suspected friend, Ivanow, into a lonely garden and killed him, throwing the body into a lake.
"Yes certainly. Stop gabbling. Call the palace." He made the call. "Now, then, call Clarence." "Clarence who?" "Never mind Clarence who. Say you want Clarence; you'll get an answer." He did so. We waited five nerve-straining minutes ten minutes how long it did seem! and then came a click that was as familiar to me as a human voice; for Clarence had been my own pupil. "Now, my lad, vacate!
Pecksniff's house came young Martin Chuzzlewit, a relation of the architect's. Tom Pinch, Mr. Pecksniff's assistant, had driven over to Salisbury for the new pupil, and had already discoursed to Martin on Mr. Festive preparations on a rather extensive scale were already completed for Martin's benefit on the night of his arrival.
The aspect of the latter I shall never forget. On the first impulse it expressed a Jean-Jacques sensibility, stirred by the signs of affection just surprised; then, immediately, darkened over it the jaundice of ecclesiastical jealousy.

"To give ground is not to fly, my little chevalier," replied the captain; "it is an axiom of the art which I advise you to consider; besides, I am not sorry to study your play. Ah! you are a pupil of Berthelot, apparently; he is a good master, but he has one great fault: it is not teaching to parry.
So evening after evening I bowled to Radley, who coached me enthusiastically. I think that he was making a fascinating hobby of training his favourite pupil for the Team, much as an owner delights in running a favourite horse for the Derby. And, when one evening I uprooted his leg-stump twice in succession, he said: "Good. Now we shall see what we shall see."
On stopping at Trieste he heard of an old man, over ninety years of age, who had once been a pupil of Tartini, and sought him out in order to "get some points" on Tartini's style. The old man, Doctor Mazzurana, declared himself too old to play the violin, but suggested that if Lipinski would play a Tartini sonata he would tell him if his style reminded him of the great master.
For this new creation, born since 1900, a historian asked no longer to be teacher or even friend; he asked only to be a pupil, and promised to be docile, for once, even though trodden under foot; for he could see that the new American the child of incalculable coal-power, chemical power, electric power, and radiating energy, as well as of new forces yet undetermined must be a sort of God compared with any former creation of nature.
