We were bound by the Odyssey, which is, of course, too long to be treated fully, and I selected incidents that attracted me and settled the order of the songs and choruses. For this purpose, as I out-Shakespeare Shakespeare in the smallness of my Greek, I used The Adventures of Ulysses by Charles Lamb, which we should have known nothing about but for Ainger's book.
This charming letter, written evidently during a vacation trip, was first published entire in Canon Ainger's edition of Lamb's Letters. February 18, 1818. My Dear Mrs. Wordsworth, I have repeatedly taken pen in hand to answer your kind letter. My sister should more properly have done it; but she having failed, I consider myself answerable for her debts.
It meant that his house was out of everything in the playing-fields; and that, as for himself, he was as much excluded as his boys. And he confirmed Ainger's opinion that it was utterly useless to appeal further to the doctor. "It would be only fair, sir," said Smedley, "for you to take back the prize and subscription you offered for the sports." "Certainly not, my dear fellow," said the master.
He let young Bateson alone, and kept to himself his feud with the master. He even attempted to pretend a languid interest in the new ambitions of his fellow-prefects, and at Ainger's request entered his name for one of the events in the sports list.
As they emerged on to the roof they were horrified to see the chimney belching forth sparks and smoke with unmistakable fierceness. Fortunately the roof was flat and the chimney-pot accessible. The contents of the three jugs rapidly damped the ardour of the rising flames, and in five minutes after Ainger's first knock at the door the danger was all over.

"And Lady Susan actually turned her back on her in the salon?" "My dear, she said it was for our sakes: that makes it so unanswerable! But poor Grossart is in a way!

Ainger had already laid down his bat. "You shall have it your own way," snarled he; "I'll come to the field." Ainger's victory over the rebels had a great moral effect on the house.
Ainger was one of those fellows who, when their mind is set on a thing, seem to lose sight of all but two persons the person who can help them most and the person who can hinder them most. In the present case Ainger's heart was set on making his house the crack house of Grandcourt. The person who could help him most was Railsford, and the person who could hinder him most was Felgate.
It scarcely occurred to any but the experienced seniors that there would be any difficulty in making Ainger's bold predictions true. Arthur for instance, having heard it publicly announced that he was about to win the Swift Exhibition, thought and behaved as if the prize were already in his hands. "Twenty pounds a-year for three years," said he complacently, to his ally. "Not a bad pot.
You're not going to care two straws what he says?" "All very well," said Arthur, stroking his puppy; "if he sends me up to Pony, what then?" "Bless you, he won't send you up to Pony." "Think not? If I thought he wouldn't, I'd hang on till Marky comes back. He'd square the thing." "Of course he would. It's a bit of spite of Ainger's.
