Knowing about Skippy is, to people who do know about him, like belonging to a special, almost secret society in which there are only two members, Skippy and the person who knows about him.

Even more disquieting was this thought: suppose Dr. Drury should feel that his duty lies in Pennsylvania! What then would become of St.Paul...
...explained that he would not, could not, leave his boys. Three-quarters of a century old, possessed of a rare tradition in its first headmaster, the late, great Dr. Henry Augustus Coit, St. Paul's is excelled by no U. S. school, emulated by many, equalled by only two or three. Although St. Paul's stresses democracy few of its alumni are not in Social Registers. They are peculiarly loyal, family-bound alumni...
