If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to a semi-official statement; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable.

That's the public-school system all over. They may kick you out, but they never let you down.
Health is the condition of wisdom, and the sign is cheerfulness, -- an open and noble temper.
