at the least--and a voice within him whispered that it would be for much
longer--his Schedule must stand like this:
8.20 Breakfast
8.40 Evolutionary Sociology
1.30 Dinner
2 Evolutionary Sociology
4.45 to 5.15 Open-Air Pedestrianism
5.15 to 6.15 The _Post_
6.15 to 6.45 Klinker's Exercises for all Parts of the Body
7 Supper
7.
