Third place, as a scholar! Well! who may he thank for that, I interrogate. Not one Denis O'Donegan! O no; the said Denis is an ignoramus, and knows nothing of the classics. Well, be it so. "How does Tom look, uncle." asked Corbet; "we can't say that he has shown much affection for his friends since he went to college."
"No doubt of it," replied the pedagogue, as they left the room, "I shall not forget myself, no more than that the image and superscription of Sir Thomas Gourlay, the Black Baronet, is upon your diabolical visage." Instead of ten minutes, the conference between the parties in the next room lasted for more than an hour, during which period O'Donegan did not omit to take care of himself, as he said.

Hip, hip hurra!"
