What did his father's herd-boy mean by talking such English to the ladies, and such vulgar Scotch to him? Although now a magistrand that is, one about to take his degree of Master of Arts Donal was still to Fergus the cleaner-out of his father's byres an upstart, whose former position was his real one towards him at least, who knew him. And did the fellow challenge him to a discussion?
In London he hoped, one way or another, to avoid dying of cold or hunger, or in debt: that was very nearly the limit of his earthly ambition. He had just one acquaintance in the whole mighty city, and no more. Him he had known in the days of his sojourn at King's College, where he had grown with him from bejan to magistrand.
The five pound bursars were privileged in paying half fees; and if he could only get some teaching, he could manage. But who would employ a bejan when a magistrand might be had for next to nothing? Besides, who would recommend him? The thought of Dr. Anderson flashed into his mind, and he rushed from the house without even knowing where he lived.
