Puppies Never See Till They Are Nine Days Old


IT is related, that when a former Bishop of Bristol held the office of

Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, he one day met a couple

of undergraduates, who neglected to pay the accustomed compliment of

capping. The bishop inquired the reason of the neglect. The two men

begged his lordship's pardon, observing they were freshmen, and did

not know him. How long have you been in Cambridge? asked his lordship.

Only eight days, was the reply. Very good, said the bishop,

puppies never see till they are nine days old.
