You're clever, aren't you, Everard? I don't know much about English universities, but isn't a Tripos what you work for at Cambridge?
Juxon congratulated him warmly and expressed a hope, amounting to certainty, that John might actually be at the head of the Tripos; to which John modestly replied that he would be quite satisfied to be in the first ten, knowing in his heart that he should be most bitterly disappointed if he were second to any one.
My father and I went out in the morning, and walked out in the fields behind King's College, and in King's College Chapel Yard, where we met with Mr. Fairbrother, who took us to Botolph's Church, where we heard Mr. Nicholas, of Queen's College, who I knew in my time to be Tripos, Their speeches, especially after the Restoration, tended to be boisterous, and even scurrilous.

Whence in the world did the boy derive this gift?
