...DEAR SOL, - You must pardon my long silence, but the fact is, my dear fellow, my time is all taken up. College life is in full swing, and our class has the reputation of being the liveliest that ever entered Harvard. The great thing here is to cultivate the men.

Aw, davilish sorry, Jim, my boy; but really can't, you know, aw : am writing an examination in Hydrostatics 10, aw; and I gave my word, you know, to do it in three hours; and by Jove, you know, no fellow would be so low as to exceed her time. Take a seat, aw. You'll find a box of Havannahs, aw, on the table; the old lady sent them yesterday, aw. I'll be through, aw, in fifteen minutes...
