We infer only that everything went by inflexible routine; not asking at all, WHAT pupil ?--nor much, Whether it would suit any pupil?
Duhan, with the tendencies we have seen in him, who is willing to soften the inflexible when possible, and to "guide Nature" by a rather loose rein, was probably a genial element in the otherwise strict affair.
