or two on my violin?"

"Well, to tell the truth, it will. I want to get my Greek lesson, and
you had better do the same."

"No, I will read a novel, and you can read over the Greek to me when
you have dug it out."

"I will if you wish, but I am afraid I am spoiling you by doing your
studying for you."

"Remember, I was out late last night."

"You have something almost every evening, Walter."

"Oh, well, I'll turn over a new leaf next term."

"Why not begin now?"

"If you knew how stupid I feel you wouldn't ask."

Walter stretched himself out on a comfortable lounge, and took up a
new novel which he had partially read, while Gates spread the big
Greek lexicon on the study-table, and opening his Aristophanes, began
slowly and laboriously to translate it into English.

Fifteen minutes passed when a knock was heard at the door.

"Come in!" called out Walter.
