Ten o'clock
I am a student of financial law and I have chosen as the subject of my dissertation -- the Past and Future of the Dog Licence . I need hardly point out that young ladies , songs , moonlight , and all that sort of silliness are entirely out of my line . Morning . Ten o'clock . My _ maman _ pours me out a cup of coffee . I drink it and go out on the little balcony to set to work on my dissertation . I take a clean sheet of paper , dip the pen into the ink , and write out the title : `` The Past and Future of the Dog Licence . ''
