He was right —the fountain pen dripped ink again.—Ex. Failed in Isatin, flunked in Math” they heard hi msoftly hiss. “I’d like to find the guy who said that ignorance is bliss.”—Ex. The little red Physics is covered with dust, And it lies in an attic old; And the little red manual is sorely mussed, And its pages are covered with mould. Time was when the little red Physics was new. And the Manual was passing fair; That was the time when the students flunked And threw them and left them there.—Ex.-
