Excerpt from Barry Gordon

Be that as it may, he was doubtless a fine young cub, with plenty of brain, some brawn, and at times good looks. His popularity, they say, was more concentrated than general, the rank and file never knowing quite how to take him, he was so variable - sometimes so old for his age, sometimes so young. But the elect worshipped him, and guided the others to a wondering admiration.

When he chose, the fellow could outstudy the lot, or at least outdo them by a sort of quick and random acquirement of learning. Yet for the most part he was given over to outdoor games and adventures, or clan destine browsings through fields of literature con demmed by the masters as uninstructive.
