I used to throw things at his door, and once I tried a cold-water douche from the pitcher, when he was very hard to waken; but that was rather brutal, and after a while I used to let him roar himself awake; he would always do it, if I trusted to nature; and before our junior year was out I got so that I could sleep through, pretty calmly; I would just say to myself when he fetched me to the surface with a yell, 'That's Melford dreaming, and doze off sweetly."
"Pews are intolerable," said Bateman; "yet the last generation of incumbents contentedly bore them; it is wonderful!" A not unnatural silence followed this speech. Charles broke it by asking if Bateman intended to do anything in the improvement line at Melford. Bateman looked modest.
