...rather liked the fellow at first. I thought he was a fresh and ingenuous youth, for whose benefit I could pour forth my reserved stores of wisdom. But after I had told him about fifty times how old I was, how large my allowance was, etc., it began to grow monotonous. I said, "Look here, old fellow! I'll just write down all those things, such as how old I am, how much money my father has, how many sisters I have, how old they are, etc., and then you can nail it up on your door so that...
...more of a failure than "Fair Harvard," and quite as entertaining. It follows very closely the track of its predecessor in the general plan, and even in such a small matter as the name of the hero. He is described as a "fresh, frank, noble-looking young fellow, full six feet tall, with an honest face, bright eyes, and thick, curling, chestnut hair," and is introduced talking with a "fine-looking young man, with dark side-whiskers," and "a smile which was strangely winning."

A rich fellow who believes that money alone is enough to carry him anywhere, and who lives up to his belief, does not occupy an enviable position. He is treated civilly, for hardly anybody can afford to cut him, but the whole world laughs at him behind his back...
...certain number of text-books, and if you take my advice, you will also pick up from time to time any outside books that may suit your fancy. You can't have too large a library, and nothing furnishes a room so well. For my own part, the fellow who lined his walls with boards painted to look like bindings took a step in the right direction. His room looked well, at any rate. At the same time expensive bindings are not the thing. They are well enough on drawing-room tables, but, far from helping you to enjoy...
