About This Book

The narrative follows life at a private college under a genial head master as boys return to term. It sketches friendships, nicknames, and social hierarchies among residents and day pupils, and depicts daily routines, lodgings, and school pastimes. Pranks and rivalries escalate into a pistol injury and a formal duel, triggering investigation, revelations, and moral reckonings. Intervening episodes mix comic mishaps, domestic scenes, examinations, and accidents, and the story concludes with reconciliations and the restoration of orderly college life.
