"Why, we are going to start for Squid Cove day after to-morrow, and we always stay till after Labor Day. Of course I shan't do any grinding down there; and then when we get back Pete Brown and I are going to take the car and go up to Lake George for the rest of the month—or till the exam, anyhow."
"So you've only got to-day and to-morrow?"
"That's all."
"Gee! What does the course cover?"
"English literature from Beowulf to the death of Swinburne."
"Know anything about it?"
"Not a damned thing."
"Know who Beowulf was?"
"No,—I thought you were going to put me on to that."
