Chapter XVIII
ACADEMIC The last sunlight was playing on the roofs when the travellers entered that High Street grave and holy to all Oxford men. The spirit hovering above the spires was as different from its concretions in their caps and gowns as ever the spirit of Christ was from church dogmas. “Shall we go into Grinnings'.” asked Shelton, as they passed the club. But each looked at his clothes, for two elegant young men in flannel suits were coming out. “You go,” said Crocker, with a smirk.
