Simon A few more answers, please. Of these pairs, which do you consider the best?. Which would you take, if you had the choice?—To sail, or to out-sail?

Tychiades The latter.

Simon To run or out-run?

Tychiades The latter.

Simon Ride or out-ride, shoot or out-shoot?

Tychiades Still the same.

Simon So I presume an out-diner is better than a diner?

Tychiades Indisputable. Henceforward I shall come to you morne ing and afternoon like a schoolboy for lessons, And I am sure you ought to do your very best for me, as your first pupil. The first child is always the mother’s joy, you know.It has been necessary, in § 60, to tamper a little with the Greek in order to get the point, such as it is; but it has not been seriously misrepresented.
