four o’clock
The professor is a man who should be above all such petty feelings . Some people here openly impute treachery , and a distinct breach of faith to Professors Snore and Doze ; while others , again , are disposed to acquit them of any culpability in the transaction , and to insinuate that the blame rests solely with Professor Wheezy . I own that I incline to the latter opinion ; and although it gives me great pain to speak in terms of censure or disapprobation of a man of such transcendent genius and acquirements , still I am bound to say that , if my suspicions be well founded , and if all the reports which have reached my ears be true , I really do not well know what to make of the matter . ` Mr. Slug , so celebrated for his statistical researches , arrived this afternoon by the four o'clock stage . His complexion is a dark purple , and he has a habit of sighing constantly . He looked extremely well , and appeared in high health and spirits . Mr. Woodensconce also came down in the same conveyance .
