XIII.

OXFORD TRANSPORTS, OR UNIVERSITY EXILES. 235 Albanians doing penance for past offences. A Scene sketched from the Life. Horace Eglantine is proposing "the Study of the Fathers," a favourite College toast, while Tom Echo is enforcing Obedience to the President's proposition by finishing off a Shirker. Dick Gradus having been declared absent, is taking a cool nap with the Ice-pail in his arms and his head resting upon a Greek Lexicon: in the left hand corner may be seen a Scout bearing off a dead Man, (but not without hope of Resurrection). Bob Transit and Bernard Blackmantle occupy the situation on each side of Dick Gradus; in the right-hand corner, Horace's servant is drawing the last Cork from the parting bottle, which is to welcome in the peep o' day. Injustice to the present authorities it should be stated, that this is a Scene of other limes.--Vide A.
