The Way of all Flesh

            Ernest, I believe, went on with a homily upon education generally, and upon the way in which young people should go through the embryonic stages with their money as much as with their limbs, beginning life in a much lower social position
than that in which their parents were, and a lot more, which he has since published; but I was getting on in years, and the walk; and the bracing air had made me sleepy, so ere we had got past Greenhithe Station on our return journey I had sunk into
a refreshing sleep.
