But as for you a mere youth to hope to rival men who have made this problem a life-study it is preposterous, sir! Utterly preposterous!" and he uttered these words much as he had declared that it was impossible for his gun to burst, even after it was in fragments. "Come on, Ned," said Tom, in a low voice. "We'll go back home."
The effect was very pretty, with palettes on nails, high up, and tall flowers in vases on brackets, and a life-study in plaster by one of the girls, in a corner of the room. It all had the charm of tasteful design yielding here and there to happy caprice; this mingling of the ordered and the bizarre, expressed the spirit, at once free and submissive, of the place.
You see that I take an interest in you," said the shrewd man, "and expect you to take an interest in my business, and work for me as for yourself."

Elementary teaching of youths under twenty is now the only function performed by the university, and almost the only object of college endowments.
