When they're all gone you can slip out easily." "Yes but oh, my Emerson!" "Emerson isn't a patching to a Latin exam!" "And the two couldn't match up with a Physics test!"
Looking back on it all, he was mystified by the barrenness of his speech; he felt that he could say 'an awful lot of fetching things' if he had but the chance again, and the thought that he must go back to Littlehampton on the morrow, and to Oxford on the twelfth 'to that beastly exam, too without the faintest chance of first seeing her again, caused darkness to settle on his spirit even more quickly than on the evening.
But if they could only get put into a corridor with a friend who knew, the biggest fool in China could get his paper written for him, and he could pass and become an M.

Preparation for the exam was not the affair of the government, and might be acquired in any possible way.
He looked like a poor rag doll that had been torn and battered in some wild carnival scrimmage and flung aside. There was not much in him not much fight, as he himself said. Not the sort to survive. Life was too strong too difficult for him. He bungled everything even an exam. It would be wiser, more consistent to let him drift.
"You may go on with that work," he said, "so long as you keep in harmony with things at home. I'm convinced that much of Russell's investigations are on wrong lines, unsound lines.

I'm just out of it; and while Jenny is keeping up games, and Edith is getting up a charade, I could dash in to see that Frank was all there, and more too. The exam, is safe, eh?"

"He's a dear boy," said Goneril, "and very clever; he is going home for the Indian civil-service exam; he has been out to Calcutta to see my father."
And besides that exam paper! It now suddenly dawned upon him. Here it was nearly seven o'clock, and by ten to-morrow he was to deliver it up to Dr Senior! How ever was he to get through it? He darted off to Oliver's study. It was empty, and he sat down, and drawing out the paper, made a dash at the first question. The answer wouldn't come! Parse "Oh, ah!"
