Scully and his friends, he must remember imprimis that Oldborough was an inconsiderable place that the inhabitants thereof were chiefly tradespeople, not of refined habits that Mr.
For the rest, he passed his examinations creditably, and indeed, in more than one case, with unexpected as unsought distinction. I must mention, however, that he did all his set work first, and thoroughly, before giving himself what he hungered after. Of society in the city he had no knowledge. Amongst the tradespeople he made one or two acquaintances.
