SOME unlucky lads in the University bearing a spite to the dean for his
severity towards them, went secretly one night and daubed the rails of
his staircase with tar. The dean coming down in the dark, dirtied his
hands and coat very much with the tar; and, being greatly enraged, he
sent for one most suspected to be the author. This the lad utterly
denied; but said, Truly, I did it not; but if you please, I can tell
you who had a hand in it. Here they thought to have found out the
truth, and asked him who. The lad answered, Your worship, sir; which
caused him to be dismissed with great applause for his ingenuity.
