Suddenly he remembered he was passing Divinity Hall, and broke off abruptly, raising his hat in apology. "'Scuse me, no offense." Then he considered anxiously: "Mishtake--nothin' hilar-ious--might be Sunday." He tried to remember the day and could not. He stopped a laborer returning home with his bundle, and said ceremoniously: "Beg your pardon, don't mean insult you, can you tell me what day the week it is?" "Sure, me b'y," said the Irishman. "It's to-morrow." "Thanks--sorry trouble you," said Stover, bowing. Then, pondering over the information, he started hurriedly on his way. "Knew it was late--must hurry." When he came to the corner of the campus he raised his hat again to the chapel. "Battell--believe in compulsory chapel--Yale democracy." He passed along College Street, saluting the various buildings by name. "Great inshtoostion--campus--Brocky's right--bring life back into campus, bring it all back. Things wrong now--everything's wrong--must say so--must stop an' fight, good fight. Regan's right 'n Swazey's right--all right. Hello, Donnelly. Salute!" The campus policeman, lolling in the shadow of Osborne Hall, said: "So there you are again, Dink. A fine life you're leadin'." Stover felt this was an unwarranted criticism. "Never saw any one take me home," he said. "Always manage get home. That's the point, that's it--see?" "Go on with you," said Donnelly. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself--you who ought to be captain of the team." Stover approached him. "Bill--captain?" "What?" "I'm goin' to stop. Solemn promish." He went into the campus and steadied himself against an elm, gazing down the long dim way to where in the shadow of the chapel was his entry. "I see it--see it plainly--perfect self-control. What's that?" The trees seemed swollen to monstrous shapes, and the façades of the dormitories to be set on a slant, like the leaning tower of Pisa. He laughed cunningly: "Don't fool me--might fool Dopey--Tom Kelly--weak head--don't fool me--illushion, pure illushion--know all 'bout it. Worse comes worse, get down hands knees." "Well, Dink, pickled again," said the voice of Le Baron from an outer world. He straightened up, his mind coming back to his control, as it always did in the presence of others. "All right," he said, leaning up against the cold, hard side of Phelp's, "bit of a party, that's all." "Look here, Dink," said Le Baron, who was ignorant of the extent of the other's condition, "let's have a few plain words--man to man." Stover heard him as from a distance, and nodded his head gravely. "Good." "We've had our break, but I've always respected you. You thought I was a snob then, and a damned aristocrat. Well, was I so far wrong? I believe in the best getting together and keeping together. You've chucked that and tried the other, haven't you? Now look where it's brought you."
