If it were not for that beard, it would have been that cachorra. On this basis he began to reason with a crazy directness. And to act. He went and pried open the door into the entry. From a shelf he took down his razor. A big, heavy-heeled strop. His hands began to hurry. And the mug, half full of soap. And water. It would have to be cold water. Outside, they were at the shop again.
Because all or every one that runneth doth not obtain the prize; there be many that do run, yea, and run far too, who yet miss of the crown that standeth at the end of the race. You know that all that run in a race do not obtain the victory; they all run, but one wins. What, do you think that every heavy-heeled professor will have heaven?

I can't help telling one more story about this great field-day, though it is the most wanton and irrelevant digression.
