Excerpt from Digby Grand, Vol. 2 of 2: An AutobiographyBut much as all these eloquent gentlemen love to dwell upon their favourite topics, they are not to be compared with two old University chums, meeting after an interval of a few years, and living over again in memory the wild jollities and rapid escapades of manhood's morning tim& At it they go - pell-mell - both together, without a moment's interval or ces sation: how Brazenose bumped Oriel, and what the dean said concerning the desecration of Peckwater what a 'good-plucked one' was Muffies of Trinity, and how he licked the bargeman, and rode over Tom Sebright - why Sapling should have been senior-wrangler, and how Muggins took a 'double first' - and what fun we had after 'hall' in 'my rooms, ' and amongst 'our own set of men.' All these recollections appear to revive with a freshness that Time is altogether unable to tarnish, and the admiring auditor who has not enjoyed the advantages of a University education, begins to think that his own youth has been most ingloriously wasted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
