I don't know to this day why I should have recalled Polly Everton and her flaming little diatribe against thievery and hypocrisy at that desperate moment. She, and her quiet college-professor father who had seemed so out of place teaching in a Glendale school, had dropped out of my life years before.
He instructed her in the great playwrights and novelists and poets, and gave as his own the reasons for their greatness assigned by the world's foremost critical writers. He showed her what scientific books to read those that do not bore and do not hide the simple fascinating facts about the universe under pretentious, college-professor phraseology.
"Are they people of culture?" she asked. "Not unless they've tried very hard," he answered. "But they have old traditions and they want to be aristocratic." "I won't go," said Corydon. "I couldn't stand them." And so Thyrsis went alone to that same temple of luxury where he had called upon the college-professor.
Charles Sumner for preventing the annexation of San Domingo, was called a traitor to the negro race, and it was said that his speech on the subject was delivered under the influence of brandy. A college-professor informed his class that Sumner was a man of small erudition, and Garrison spoke of him as one who had evidently joined the anti-slavery cause from interested motives.
