EPILOGUE II.

Some readers of these lectures have complained that it is often difficult to discriminate1 when they are serious and when they “attempt to be funny,” and have suggested that the attempts should be indicated clearly by a note, thus hand “this is a goak”!—and the remainder printed in red ink. While fully2 recognizing their difficulty and sympathizing with them, I am unable to entertain either proposal; the first is an American innovation utterly3 at variance4 with the conservative character of the work; and it is a fatal objection to the other that if whatever is important were picked out in red, many well-disposed children would at once rush to the natural—but highly erroneous—conclusion, that they had got hold of a Prayer Book. Another complaint, that my advice to Bumblepuppists is likely to lead them further astray is beside the question, even assuming—for the sake of this argument—such a thing to be possible; the point is whether I have described “the game” correctly, and I am prepared to stake my reputation as an experienced Bumblepuppy player, that I have done so without manifesting fear, favour, or affection.
