He held them at a distance and brooded uneasily on his own thought again. Cranly turned, and Dixon, who had whistled, called out: --Where are you fellows off to? What about that game, Cranly?

Who shall regulate all the mixed conversation of our youth, male and female together, as is the fashion of this country? Who shall still appoint what shall be discoursed, what presumed, and no further? Lastly, who shall forbid and separate all idle resort, all evil company? These things will be, and must be; but how they shall be least hurtful, how least enticing, herein consists the grave and governing wisdom of a state.
