What I have done has improved boating, and I am glad...
...cousin has five examinations in three weeks, with plenty of time to prepare them, and time to go to the theatre, too. I don't say this out of jealousy, for of course I am fond of him; but it does seem unfair that two fellows, in other respects equal, should be treated so differently...
