s and inclinations towards the boys.

The master does-- when he gives them a half holiday or a blow out. Mr.
Squeers (vide Nicholas Nick: illustriss. Boz.) was in the habit of
_making much_ of the young gentlemen intrusted to his care.

Sub, when it relates to time, is commonly joined to an accusative case,
as

Sub idem tempus-- Isaaculus trans maria deportatus est:

About the same time-- Ikey was transported beyond the seas.

We say _beyond the seas_, lest it should be questioned whether Mr. I.
was _transported_ as a necessary or contingent consequence of cheating.

Super, for, ultra, beyond, is put with an accusative case, for de,
concerning, with an ablative case, as

Super et Garamantas et Indos
Proferet imperium:

He will extend the empire both beyond the Africans and the Indians.

A wide _rule_ expressed in poetical _measure_.

Quid de domesticis Peruviorum rebus censeas?

What may be your opinion concerning the domestic economy
of the Peruvians?

Tenus, as far as, is joined to an ablative case, both in the singular
and plural number, as

Cervice, auribusque tenus Marius in luto inveniebatur:

Marius was found up to his neck and ears in mud.

What a lark! or rather a mud lark. But tenus is joined to a genitive
only in the plural, and it always follows its case, as

Crurum tenus: up to the _legs_.

Which it is very necessary to be at Epsom and Ascot.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF INTERJECTIONS.

Interjections are often put without a case, as

Spem gregis, ah! silice in nuda connixa reliquit:

Having yearned, she left the hope of the flock, alas!
upon the bare flint stones.

And exposed to the _steely_-hearted world, which, as an Irishman
remarked, was a dangerous situation for _tinder_ infancy. It must have
been, to say the least, a most uncomfortable _berth_.

O! of one exclaiming, is joined to a nominative, accusative, and
vocative case, as

O lex! Oh law! O alaudas! Oh larks! Oh meum! Oh my!
O care! Oh dear!

We cannot find out what is Latin for oh Crikey!

Heu! and proh! alas! are joined, sometimes to a nominative, sometimes to
an accusative, and occasionally to a vocative case, as-- Heu bellis!
Lack-a-_daisy_. Heu diem! Lack-a-_day_. Proh Clamor! Oh _cry_! Proh deos
pisciculosque! Oh, ye gods and little fishes!

Heu miserande puer!

Oh, boy, to be pitied!

What boy is more to be pitied than a junior boy? The _Fagin_ system
described in
