“I shouldn’t think anybody would ever open to people standing outside a door in inverted commas,” Michael observed. “Look here, Michael,” Avery and Wedderburn protested simultaneously, “will you shut up, or you won’t be allowed to contribute.” “Haven’t you ever heard of the younger generation knocking at the door in Ibsen?” fretfully demanded Maurice. “_That the opinion of those who are knocking at the door,_” he continued defiantly, “_is not unworthy of an audience._” “But if they’re knocking at a door,” Michael objected, “they can’t be reflected in a mirror; unless it’s a glass door, and if it’s a glass door, they oughtn’t to be knocking on it very hard. And if they don’t knock hard, there isn’t much point——” “_The Editor in chief_,” pursued Maurice, undaunted by Michael’s attempt to reduce to absurdity the claims of The Oxford Looking-Glass, “_will be M. Avery (St. Mary’s), with whom will be associated C. St. C. Wedderburn (St. Mary’s), C. M. S. Fane (St. Mary’s), V. L. A. Townsend (B.N.C.)_. I haven’t asked him yet, as a matter of fact, but he’s sure to join because he’s very keen on Ibsen. _W. Mowbray (Univ.)._ Bill Mowbray’s very bucked at the scheme. He’s just resigned from the Russell and joined the Canning. They say at the Union that a lot of the principal speakers are going to follow Chamberlain’s lead for Protection. _N. R. Stewart (Trinity)._ Nigel Stewart is most tremendously keen, and rather a good man to have, as he’s had two poems taken by The Saturday Review already. _G. Hazlewood (Balliol)_——” “That’s the man I’ve come to talk about,” said Michael. “I met him to-day.” Avery asked if Michael liked old Guy and was obviously pleased to hear he had been considered interesting. “For in his own way,” said Avery solemnly, “he’s about the most brilliant man in the Varsity. I’d sooner have him under me than all the rest put together, except of course you and Wedders,” he added quickly. “I’m going to take this prospectus round to show him to-morrow. He may have some suggestions to make.” Michael joined with the Editor in supposing that Hazlewood might have a large number of suggestions. “And he’s got a sense of humor,” he added consolingly.
