Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Snap Shots From Boy Life
Richard Grant White, an excellent authority on the correct usages of English, sneers at both, and Shows his disgust by saying pants are always worn by gents. They always go together, and you may know that a gent as a rule is a very vulgar fellow.
But I must get back to that happy-go - lucky chap. The boy knows that the others will soon become accustomed to seeing him wear long trousers, and he feels a pleasure in anticipating a wet day when he can roll them up at the bottom. Then very likely he soon grows tired of them and wishes they were short again, especially when he goes roaming through the woods, and takes off his shoes and stockings to wade in boggy lands or in some cooling woodland stream. The boy with short trousers seems to be more of a boy than he who wears the coveted exten sions he appears to better advantage.
