You cannot hide from me the fact that you are trying to appear what you are not. Stand up; throw out your chest; io8 TEN YEARS AT YALE bellow with all your might ; it is all in vain. I am laugh- ing up my sleeve at your ridiculous pretensions, and I take you no more seriously than I would any other fool.
