"The Headmaster of Eton (Dr. the Hon. E. Lyttelton) advised his hearers,
in a recent speech at the Royal Albert Institute, to read Professor A.
J. Church's "Stories from Homer," some of which, he said, he had read to
Eton boys after a hard school day, and at an age when they were not in
the least desirous of learning, but were anxious to go to tea. The
stories were so brilliantly told, however, that those young Etonians
were entranced by them, and they actually begged of him to go on, being
quite prepared to sacrifice their tea time."
