...circle of unlettered relatives, you are, all at once, removed to a position totally different. Surroundings, duties, pleasures, everything is unfamiliar. You are, in fact, transplanted from easy-going boyhood, with loving hands ever ready to guard you from the first approach of trouble or temptation, to a station imposing upon you the responsibilities of manhood, without experience or preparation. Can it justly be a matter of surprise that at your annual visits home old friends will find you changed? Not necessarily gone to the bad, of course, but with a good many angularities of character worn down by constant...
...each side of the river, as near the line of the finish as they could be placed, two stands had been built nearly equal in size. But the one on the western bank quite surpassed its rival in having a band and in being the terminal station of the Harvard Telegraph Co. Here, on a rude platform, built in the crotch of a tree at least thirty feet from the ground, sat Nason, '73, ready for the faintest signal of the start. But the start was not yet.

...policeman with hand on both Smith and Brown, also policeman's white bulldog sitting exactly in front of post and looking up into my face. He had such a yearning, beseeching look about his jaws that I decided to come down. Followed my friends down to the station. It would have been cowardly to have run away; besides, the dog kept close to my heels. Expenses, $25 and costs; $10 to the reporter to keep my name out of his paper. I must write for more money. What if this should leak out? What would Cowan...
...stop smoking. A look of sadness overspread his features; he remonstrated with me over such a rash act, and spoke eloquently of the inspiration derived from the burning bowl. I ordered my paper to be stopped. He argued that it was the duty of every young man in our station to be well versed in politics and current matters, and was surprised that a man of my sense should take such a course. I did n't buy any more translations. He thought by this means I would lose a certain elegance and fluency of translation. I thought differently, grew...
