WHAT? - AND LIKEWISE - WHERE?

— But what do you call it? Myles Crawford asked. Where did they get the plums?

VIRGILIAN, SAYS PEDAGOGUE. SOPHOMORE
PLUMPS FOR OLD MAN MOSES.

"Old Man Moses" may be a song reference, possibly even Dvorak!!? [♬]


— Call it, wait, the professor said, opening his long lips wide to reflect. Call it, let me see. Call it: Deus nobis haec otia fecit.

trans: 'a god wrought for us this leisure' Virgil

Mount Pisgah

Nelson lost an arm in battle, and carried on with Mrs Wm Hamilton


— Tickled the old ones too, Myles Crawford said, if the God Almighty's truth was known.
