Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of the Grenvilles Tom, Dick, and Harry were three brothers: three ordinary modern boys from school. They were ordinary because they were neither undistinguished nor very highly distinguished by birth, brains, or athletic powers: they were not geniuses or fools, giants or weaklings, aristocrats or plebeians. They were modern because their manners and ideas were those of good citizens of the school commonwealth, sensible as well as spirited: differing in this from almost all the traditional types of the old school stories. They did not spend their days in cribbing, in being swished, in robbing orchards and being chased by keepers, in inking their collars and tearing their trousers, in keeping rabbits in their lockers and putting dead cats in other people´s beds: they were not perpetually at war with their masters or ashamed of being seen with their parents: they read frequently without reproach, and debated freely among their friends on politics, poetry, and religion. Tom, the eldest, would in two months´ time be nineteen years old and an Oxford undergraduate. Dick, the youngest, would, by Christmas, be sixteen and playing football for his house; Harry, with luck, in the sixth form and next year´s captain of cricket.
