EVERYSTUDENT-I wish | had
passed this month. | miss Rough and
Tough so, and if | had only made an
average of seventyhve, they would
still be with me.

It's folly to be wise" /
RYSTUDENT-That may apply
to you, but it doesn't to me.
SLOTH-By what means and III
what manner my worthy friend, did .
you discover Ignorance? Mayhaps l.
approached you with an awful mien, or
