I think so too, replied Yorick. I am of a contrary opinion, quoth my father. No, I think I have advanced nothing, replied my father, making answer to a question which Yorick had taken the liberty to put to him, I have advanced nothing in the Tristra-paedia, but what is as clear as any one proposition in Euclid.
That, in order to render the Tristra-paedia complete, I wrote the chapter myself.
The first thing which entered my father's head, after affairs were a little settled in the family, and Susanna had got possession of my mother's green sattin night-gown, was to sit down coolly, after the example of Xenophon, and write a Tristra-paedia, or system of education for me; collecting first for that purpose his own scattered thoughts, counsels, and notions; and binding them together, so as to form an Institute for the government of my childhood and adolescence.
Slop, pointing to the corporal, has had the misfortune to have heard some superficial empiric discourse upon this nice point. That he has, said my father. Very likely, said my uncle. I'm sure of it quoth Yorick. Doctor Slop being called out to look at a cataplasm he had ordered, it gave my father an opportunity of going on with another chapter in the Tristra-paedia.
