The first step was achieved. The first
class was gained. Challice Of Pembroke
was second classic He might have been
senior but for the unaccountable laziness
of his first yaar. He was university
scholar, medalist, prizeman He was
one Of the best speakers at the union.
He was known to be ambitious He was
not popular, however, because he was
liable to strange flts Of dullness Those
who met him wandering about the banks
of the river found him apparently un-
able to understand things. At such
times he looked heavy and dull. Il was
supposed that he was distracted Men
respected his moods, but these things do
not increase friendships Challioe the
Animal and Challice the Intellect
weighed each other down.
They left Cambridge; they went to
London; they took lodgings "You are
now so different from me in appear

The victim Of sloth obeyed. He went
about all day long in heavy, meaning
less fashion. He looked at things in
shops. He sat in museums aud dropped
off to sleep. He strolled round squares
At luncheon and dinner time he found
out restaurants where he could feed-in
reality, the only pleasure left to him
was to eat, drink and sleep.
One day he was In Kensington gar
dens, sitting half asleep in the sun. Peo-
pie walked up and down the walk bc-
fore him - beautiful women gayly
dressed, sprightly women eyly talking
