noon
The lecture room was chilly , beastly chilly , and about half the men had colds . Every twentieth word I 'd say some one would sneeze and interrupt . On top of this one chap on the front row had neglected to complete his toilet and sat there for half an hour manicuring his nails , every blessed one of the ten ; I counted them , while I was trying to explain proximal principles . At noon we had some more of that abominable soup with carrots in it . Carrots ! I detest the name and the whole family ; and we 've had them every day now for a week . After lunch another big thing .
