AN undergraduate had unconsciously strayed into the garden of a certain
D.D., then master of the college adjoining. He had not been there many
minutes, when Dr. ---- entered himself, and, perceiving the student, in
no very courteous manner desired the young gentleman to walk out; which
the undergraduate not doing (in the opinion of the doctor) in sufficient
haste, Domine demanded, rather peremptorily, whether he knew who he
was? at the same time informing the intruder he was Dr. ----. That,
replied the undergraduate, is impossible; for Dr. ---- is a
gentleman, and you are a blackguard!
