...examinations in the Junior year. Desiring to take as many courses as possible in his field before the examination, a student of the Renaissance is dismayed to discover that courses in Renaissance art, history, and literature are all offered at the same time.

They whined and shrieked like an infernal pipe organ. I would pause for a while and repeat the operation-first a cough, and then a thrashing. I finally noticed that even without beating them, the beasts moaned and yelped like the very devil whenever I coughed. I then let them loose.
