Dignity is given to the place by a set of men called Fellows, who, living at the expense of the College, spend the day walking about arm in arm, looking immensley important, and occupy the evening in telling stories and drinking immense quantities of Port wine.

When she asked where all the money came from, he blandly explained that he made a princely sum as superintendent...
