Distinguish yourself in that noble branch of abstract science in which, you cannot but acknowledge, you are at present sadly deficient.

How do you like that?
We will go to the west of the Mississippi and find some suitably level locality. We will erect thereon a model Tachypomp. We will summon thereunto the professor, his daughter, and why not his fair sister Jocasta, as well? We will take them a journey which shall much astonish the venerable Surd. He shall place Abscissa's digits in yours and bless you both with an algebraic formula.
She has cruelly said that her years demand of me filial rather than connubial regard. Is love a matter of years or of eternity? This question did I put to the cold, yet lovely Jocasta." "Jocasta Surd!" I remarked in surprise, "Abscissa's aunt!" "The same," he said, sadly. "I will not attempt to conceal that upon the maiden Jocasta my maiden heart has been bestowed.
But having a regard for you personally" and again I saw malice twinkle in his small eyes "and still more regard for Abscissa's happiness, I have decided that you shall have her upon conditions. Upon conditions," he repeated, with a half-smothered sneer. "What are they?" cried I, eagerly enough. "Only name them."
