During part of his time in Berlin he shared a room with Motley. In order to prepare for the final examination he engaged the services of a crammer, and with his assistance, in 1835, took the degree of Doctor of Law and at once passed on to the public service.
Lorimer listened patiently with a forbearing smile on his open, ruddy countenance. When he had heard everything he looked up and inquired calmly "This is not a yarn, is it?" "A yarn!" exclaimed Philip. "Do you think I would invent such a thing?" "Can't say," returned Lorimer imperturbably. "You are quite capable of it. It's a very creditable crammer, due to Chartreuse.
"I don't want to lose any of the fun " "Nor must you," said the crammer, with emphasis. "But we've left our bikes outside, and mine's a Beeston Humber," continued Raffles. "If you don't mind, we'll bring 'em in before these fellows get away on them."

Perhaps you will become less of a last-minute crammer and more of a scholar." But somehow his tone lacked conviction. "Years ago, right in this very room you now occupy, a Mohammedan wonder-worker performed four miracles before me!" Sri Yukteswar made this surprising statement during his first visit to my new quarters.

"O, Lor', Spokeshave, what a crammer!" I cried.
