Excerpt from The Marplot, Vol. 1 of 3
The immediate task before him was also uncongenial. He feared children, especially growing boys, almost as much as he feared young ladies who were already full grown. He remembered that he would have to give up his morning's work; but the Professor was an unselfish gentleman, and the thought that he might be guilty of the discourtesy of keeping a lady. Waiting on the steamer, while he was indulging in perfectly elastic solids, was even more distressing to him than the abandonment of his studies.
