Once more I ask you, sir, will you tell me
Your name and College?”
“My name and College? I’ll see thee d—d first,
Wretch, with no sense of gentlemanly feeling,
Sordid, unholy, pitiless, degraded,
Brute of a Proctor.”
(Trips up the Proctor, knocks down Bull-dogs,
and exit in transports of joy.)
Will Scarlet.
