"Behold!" we cried, "the Sergeant reappears."
Let not our welcome overmuch astound thee,
Whom we have missed through twelve unhappy years.
Restored at length to England, home, and beauty,
Sergeant-at-Arms advance, and do thy duty!
ANCIENT "BLOCK SYSTEM" AT ETON.
N.B.—The rod may not be a whack-simile of the original, but our old Eton Boy says it is quite near enough, and, "in his position at the time," as he adds with truth, "it was impossible to see it."
