Being a fragment of a letter found in the prep. room one Sunday night. . . . I can't think why they woke me up. Six o'clock, mark you and there I was, sleeping as peacfully as possible ffor The Beagle snores and Roe talks in his sleepj in the dormitory. Six o'clock and a Sunday at that: Easter Sunday. However, there it was ! We three and two masters and the outside man all out on patrol to guard the pansies fno, not your sort of pansy: real onesj and lilies, while a thousand goodly people in cars and on foot, in trams and on bicycles, streamed up the mountain for the worship of Ra, the Sunfgod Qsee last weeks crossword puzzlej : and the Chinese staff mocked us from the quad. But there was little enough trouble as they went upg we have got the ropefcutters and other brutal denizens of this place pretty well trained this year. A few choicely painted signs had done the trick and I was able to wrap myself in my trusty leather jerkin and curl up on the scat in the rose garden and sleep again despite the jeers of my fellowflabourers. You know I can sleep anywhere: at halfftime in a Rugger match or anywhere else. About 8.20 they began to come down and we got really busy on our patrol work on the road. But there wasn't much doing except that Roe fell off his bicycle in a pile of mud and one good lady who had taken a perambulator up the hill saw him there and thought one of the quintuplets had fallen out and he was only rescued by the massive efforts of The Beagle. Everyone who came down had a nasty little tag on his lapel or a sticker on his windshield and some of the getfups were no dynamite. Two superfdroops had black shirts and black collars and ties of white watered silk. This repulsive attire was accentuated by a white lily apiece in the buttonhole. Such are the symbols of purity. Oh ! definitely purity. Anyway the lilies and daffodils were efficiently protected: but boy, oh! boy, was I glad to snaffle some breakfast and get back to a decent sleep. Yours ever, THE BOGN. Hogg ,
