We're natural enemies in school--that's the fact.
We've got to learn so much Latin and Greek, and do so many verses, and they've got to see that we do it.

If we can slip the collar and do so much less without getting caught, that's one to us.

If they can get more out of us, or catch us shirking, that's one to them.

All's fair in war but lying.

If I run my luck against theirs, and go into school without looking at my lessons, and don't get called up, why am I a snob or a sneak?
I don't tell the master I've learnt it.
