...directions about playing my hand. I remonstrated with him, but to no purpose; he assured me, with the utmost candor, that his mamma liked to have him look over people's hands so as to learn how to play, and his father liked to have him watch and see who did the cheating...
...unfit for a scholarship when his rank is not based on definite marks. In other words, a false and injurious method is to be maintained, because, forsooth, instructors are afraid to speak the truth unless it is shielded in a specious disguise.
