Yet trouble did break out. One Cartwright, a large, genial, athletic person who expected to get an exhibition at Cambridge for his games, was always to the fore when there seemed any opportunity of baiting Finney. To him fell the Daedalus passage at the beginning of the book: his rendering was picturesque and contained such gems as 'Intrepid aeronaut' and 'Bird-man.' "That's not English and it isn't in the Latin," said Finney sharply. "I don't know, sir," said Cartwright weightily. "'Praepetibus pennis ausus'--note of daring. Intrepid. Intrepid aeronaut. Why not, sir? And then 'levis super astitit'--note of hovering over. Bird-man. Why not, sir?" Finney paused in silence. The Upper Sixth were tittering like infants of twelve, with the exception of Martin, who stared self-consciously at his desk, hating every moment and dreading what was to come. Fortunately Finney controlled his temper and said quickly: "Don't be childish, Cartwright. Translate, Warren." Warren was an intelligent youth and gifted with endless audacity. A week or two later they turned back to the first book (Finney couldn't tolerate their assault on the second half of Book VI.), and Warren had in his section the line: "Succinctam pharetra et maculoso tegmine lyncis." This he rendered: "With a check golf-skirt and a bag of clubs." There was a wild roar of laughter and Finney went very red. Again he controlled himself and merely said: "Quite good. But you might keep your jokes till the end of the hour." At last an event occurred which he could not overlook. Cartwright was translating Tacitus and he had a book open under his desk. The words flowed smoothly, with unwonted smoothness, for Cartwright was slow of wit. At the end of the chapter Finney remarked: "Are you aware, Cartwright, that you have reproduced the excellent translation by Messrs Church and Brobribb word for word?" "Have I, sir?" answered Cartwright with astonishment. "You have. And what is your explanation?" Cartwright reflected. "Only that great minds think alike," he said at last. "I shall report you to the headmaster," shouted Finney above the roar of laughter.
