Don't you see the analogy ?" "Yes, sir," answered Tom, looking up roguishly, "I see; only the question remains whether I should have got most good by understanding Greek particles or cricket thoroughly.

I'm such a thick, I never should have had time for both." "I see you are an incorrigible," said the master, with a chuckle; "but I refute you by an example.

Arthur there has taken in Greek and cricket too." "Yes, but no thanks to him; Greek came natural to him.

Why, when he first came I remember he used to read Herodotus for pleasure as I did Don Quixote, and couldn't have made a false concord if he'd tried ever so hard; and then I looked after his cricket." "Out! Bailey has given him out.

Do you see, Tom ?" cries Arthur.
