"I know," answered P , "these Norwegian fellows tell enormous crammers; but you may depend upon it, if we wish to get sport we must get up earlier." "Well," R replied, "all I can say to the bears and sporting animals in general is, that if they don't breakfast a little later, or indulge in luncheons, they won't hear much of me.
Jim Cotton was entered upon the roll-call of some celebrated "crammer" near the Crystal Palace. If crammers' hearts could be broken, Jim, I should say, will accomplish the feat. But if ever James Cotton does get into the Army he will never disgrace his regiment.
You gave me a horrid start, and I realized for the first time that I've got a heart. I really must sit down and pant." Vivie: "I am sorry, dearest. I had not the slightest notion you would be letting yourself into the office at this hour 8 o'clock and I was just returning from my crammers..." Norie: "I came for those Cranston papers. Mother is ill.
"But you shouldn't support it by telling crammers," said McAllister, who took a pleasure in irritating poor Bobus. "Order!" cried Perigal, who was always a peacemaker. "Come, Mac, let Bobus spin his yarns, and do you spin yours; and now just go on with that story about the Highlands which you had begun the other evening, when the squall struck the ship."
There are some who appear to suppose that the "best" are known only to experts in an esoteric way, who may reveal to inquirers what schoolboys and betting-men describe as "tips." There are no "tips" in literature; the "best" authors are never dark horses; we need no "crammers" and "coaches" to thrust us into the presence of the great writers of all time. "Crammers" will only lead us wrong.
"Oh, you'll be quite ready for the examination in a week, my boy," said the vicar, to encourage me. "The examiners only require superficial knowledge; not, honest groundwork although, they pretend to test the effects of a `good liberal education! One of these public crammers would make you fit to pass in any certified time, if you could barely read and write.
The mention of those confounded "crammers," led me on to talk about examinations in general; and, while on the topic, I could not stop until I had thoroughly relieved my mind from an incubus of educational zeal that has long lain there dormant. Now, I will proceed again, with your permission and pardon which latter, I'm confident, is already granted.
I did not allude to physical cramming, such as the Strasbourg geese undergo; but, mental stuffing. A `crammer' is a `coach, you know." "I'm sure I don't," said little Miss Pimpernell, energetically; "for, what with your crammers and coaches, I really do not know what you are speaking about!"
His father was rolling in money, and of course he should cut a very good figure in London when he had left Camford, which was a mere place for crammers and crammed, etcetera." So Bruce became more and more confirmed as a trifler and an idler, and he suffered that terrible ennui, which dogs the shadow of wasted time.
Campbell, who had a fine taste in clothes and a fluent vocabulary, followed his lead in looking down loftily on the rest of the world. This was only their second term, and the school, used to what it profanely called "crammers' pups," had treated them with rather galling reserve. But their whiskers Sefton owned a real razor and their mustaches were beyond question impressive.
