Here is a letter from one of Gussys girl admirers;I think youre too hard on
Gussy.
Even groaning did not fully express Bunters feelings.
So far as I know,
there are extremely fewschool stories in foreign languages. On the other hand,
there has always been a very strongtemperance strain.
But it is better to
consider the differences first.
It is usual to plough with a cow and a donkey
yokedtogether.
What the circulations of these papers are, I donot know.
People
with brown skins are next door to invisible.
She answered with a shrill wail,
almosta scream, which was partly gratitude but mainly surprise.
But what is
strange about these people is their invisibility.
Needless to say, these
stories are fantastically unlike life at a realpublic school.
She answered with
a shrill wail, almosta scream, which was partly gratitude but mainly
surprise.
With all this, the supposed glamour of public-school life is played
forall it is worth.
Nevertheless a good deal of it is cultivated, with
frightfullabour. I am not commenting, merelypointing to a fact.
She answered
with a shrill wail, almosta scream, which was partly gratitude but mainly
surprise.
A quarter of an hour had elapsed out of the two hours that Bunter
wasbooked for extra French. Everything is safe, solid and unquestionable. On
the present awful occasion the fatOwl of Greyfriars was less inclined than ever
to shut up. Bloodspattered and I went back on my heels, but surged in and
ripped my rightunder the heart.
The reason, obviously, is that inEngland
education is mainly a matter of status.
