Bartered Honour, Vol. 1 of 3

Excerpt from A Bartered Honour, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel Oxford was full of life again; the winter term had again commenced, and freshmen and old stagers were mixed up in a mass, where they were not easily to be distinguished, except for the fact that the freshmen looked the more well-dressed and the less self-conscious. But we have neither to do with freshmen nor old stagers, neither with schools nor dons nor tradesmen, nor proctors, nor any of those characters with whom the outsiders are better acquainted than those who pass through the University, from accounts of the life there, beginning with the "Life and Adventures of Verdant Green" down to the crude articles on University life, which young Crookedshanks gives to the light of day and to an admiring family circle through the columns of the Bumbleshire Herald, that celebrated county organ.
