get life restoring fresh and exercise for their aded
minds and bodies earlier than midnight; then they
turned out in groups of two three and gratefully
and violently tramped the deserted streets until two
in the morning.
Smith had been in the Government service, at
home and abroad, for than thirty years, and
was now sixty years old or close upon it. He could
not remember year in which he had had vacation
of more than fortnight's length. He was weary all
through to the bones and the marrow now and
yearning for a holiday of whole three months,-
yearnng so longingly and so pognantly that he had
at last made up his mind to make desperate cast
for it and stand the consequences, whatever they
might be- 1t against all rules to ask for
ton quite against all etiquette: the shock of it
would paralyze the Chanceery. Stern etiquette
and usage required another form: the applicant
not privileged to ask for vacation; he must send in
his resignation The Chancellor would know that
the applicant not really trying to resign, and
didn't want to ign, but merely trying in this
left handed way to get vacation.
The night before the Emperors dinner [ helped
Smith take his exercise, after midnight, and he
full of his project He had sent in his resignation
that day, and trembling for the result: and
naturally, because it might possibly be that the
Chancellor would be happy to fill his place with
somebody else, in which he could accept the
resignation without comment and without offense
