"Now the date, please and hand me the chalk." She reached up and signed her name bold and free, being a fair scholar. "And now, my little fellow," says she, turning to her husband, "put down that pipe and come'st along home. The man's at the top of the tree, is he? You'll wish you were, if I catch you at any more tricks!"
I have always observed that the most learned people, that is, those who have read the most Latin, write the worst; and that distinguishes the Latin of gentleman scholar from that of a pedant. A gentleman has, probably, read no other Latin than that of the Augustan age; and therefore can write no other, whereas the pedant has read much more bad Latin than good, and consequently writes so too.
Franklin, with a satisfied air, such as mothers are likely to betray when they know that their children are doing well; "I think he will make a good scholar if he can have the opportunity, though I scarcely see how you will be able to educate him." "I can hardly see how myself," said her husband; "yet I trust that God will provide a way. At any rate, I hope for the best."
Would not this have been just the work for a moralist and a philosopher, worthy at once of a poet and of a scholar?

Captain Scott who was a good scholar and well acquainted with Native politics, as Persian Secretary to the Governor-General of British India records of the Mirza that no one left his presence dissatisfied.

It is a work of the best age of architecture with all the characteristics in detail of that age; yet it is not the work of a builder of genius, but of a careful scholar, who has imperfectly assimilated the principles of his masters. In passing this judgment, it must be remembered that we are not rashly coming to a conclusion on insufficient data.
He has a scholar meditating under him Mina Bahadur Rana but we did not see him. He wears clothes and is very imperfect. He has written a little pamphlet about his master, and I have that. It contains a wood-cut of the master and himself seated on a rug in the garden. The portrait of the master is very good indeed.
"What do you do most?" she asked. "Watch me lines." "I don't mean work!" "Oh, in me spare time I keep me room and study in me books." "Do you work on the room or the books most?" "On the room only what it takes to keep it up, and the rest of the time on me books." The Angel studied him closely. "Well, maybe you are going to be a great scholar," she said, "but you don't look it.
I wanted to avoid calling any attention to him; so I contrived to make the worst of him in the Latin class he was not a bad scholar and so keep him in when the rest went to play.
