Inquirer. But why don't some of 'em call themselves Second Trinity men?
First W. I. M. Oh, that's one of their silly bits of College etiquette. These chaps at the Universities are never happy unless they do things quite differently from all the rest of the world.
Inquirer. This beastly paper says, "the Cambridge stroke rowed much longer to-day."
First W. I. M. Well, what then?
Inquirer. Oh! nothing; only I thought they all rowed exactly the same distance when they're practising; so I don't quite see how any of 'em could have rowed longer than the rest.
First W. I. M. I daresay they made him row a good bit by himself; they often do that to give the stroke some extra practice. He wants it more than any of the rest.
Second W. I. M. Why?
First W. I. M. Oh, ah—well, because he's got to set the stroke for the others, or something of that sort.
Inquirer. How far do they row in the race?
Second W. I. M. About six miles or so.
