...vicissitudes of human events were shown last year in a case that occurred not far from Cambridge. One man wrote out his Forensics and handed them in as they came due. His mark for the year was 65.

As I write this, I imagine myself for the moment an ancient Greek. I imagine myself scratching the word ??? on a bit of shell, and dropping the shell into a vase decorated with designs from the wars of the gods and the giants. And then I imagine myself walking off, and saying, "So, so, Mr. Swiddle, you'll cut a dash in the streets of Athens no more...
