Howsoever, to get down to cases, a thing this columnist by his very nature, finds hard to do, there are a few rare personalities left from the old school of English teachers.

...Vagabond has given up his bounding and sauntering about these days for countless reasons, one of which, or perchance several, are the divisional examinations in Shakespeare, the Bible, and Ancient Authors all of which are looming large on the horizon to plague the prodigal senior.
