Why don't you answer, you shamble shanked beggar's baby? Go to the Bursar, and tell him to send supper for six and claret for sixteen; served up to a minute. Do you hear? D my body, I'm glad to see you! We'll make a night ont! What, are you come to enter at our college? 'Yes' 'D my soul, I'm glad ont! D n me, our college will be the go! D n me, we are a rare string already!
The ministers took this to mean that those who carried small bursaries were eligible, and indeed it had usually gone to a bursar. "Sentimental Tommy would not have been able to compete if he had got a bursary," Mr. Cathro explained, "because however small it was Mr.
"I drink to the graces, Law, Physic, Divinity, Viva la Compagnie! And here's to the worthy old Bursar of Trinity, Viva la Compagnie!" "Viva, viva la va!" etc., were chorussed with a shout that shook the old walls, while Power took up the strain: "Though with lace caps and gowns they look so like asses, Viva la Compagnie!" They'd rather have punch than the springs of Parnassus, Viva la Compagnie!
Strictly exclude her from your horizon. Ignore her. Will you do this?" "We will try," said the one, after a pause. "Thank you very much," added the other. The Duke watched them out of sight. He wished he could take the good advice he had given them... Suppose he did take it! Suppose he went to the Bursar, obtained an exeat, fled straight to London!
I now discovered that he also kept a particularly mellow Scotch whiskey, an excellent cigar, and a fund of anecdote of which a mordant wit was the worthy bursar. Enough to add that he kept us laughing in his study until the chapel bells rang him out.
I save them from my dinner, Mr. Bursar I save them. If the Church only recognised modest merit as it ought to do! if the bishops only listened with due attention to the sound and scholarly exegesis of my Sunday evening discourses at St. Fredegond's! then, indeed, I might be disposed to regard things through a more satisfied medium the medium of a nice, fat, juicy country living.
The Master took three deliberate sips of port wine. "I think, Stewart, we are discussing matters we know very little about," he said, in a particularly high, dry voice; and every one felt that the discussion was closed. Then he turned to Sanderson and made some remark about a house which Sanderson's College, of which he was junior bursar, was selling to Durham.

"I humbly move that the old cove in the gown do take the chair," sang out one. "All who are of this opinion say, 'Ay." A perfect yell of ayes followed this. "All who are of the contrary say, 'No. The ayes have it."
He had a good appetite, and was of a joyous mood. He would say, for instance, that the wine was truly Christian a daring allusion to the water which the bursar was taxed with putting in the bottles. Still his gravity at once returned to him on going in to lectures.
The Bursar still dispenses the satisfactory revenues which Baldwin left to the College. None of us ever can forget the marble angels round the figure of the dying Provost on which we used to gaze during the pangs of the Examination Hall. Baldwin died in 1785, and was succeeded by Francis Andrews, a Fellow of seventeen years' standing.
