**AN INCIDENT**

"Eleven o'clock," Crocker talk as dem waka commot from college. "I no dey feel sleep; make we waka small for 'High'?" 

Shelton gree; e dey too busy dey think about im encounter with the dons to even notice say im leg dey pain am. Na di last day of im travels be dis, as e never change im mind to wait for Oxford reach July. 

"We dey call dis place the heart of knowledge," e talk as dem pass one big building wey dey white and quiet for darkness; "e be like say to me, e no too be like that, as Society na the heart of true gentility." 

Crocker answer na grunt; e dey look the stars, dey calculate maybe how long e go take waka reach heaven. 

"No," Shelton continue; "we get too much common-sense for here to dey stress our minds. We sabi when e don reach to stop. We dey gather news of Papias and all the verbs wey dey end with 'ui' but as for news of life or of oneself! Real seekers after knowledge dey different. Dem dey fight for darkness--no mercy. We no dey raise that kind for here." 

"How jolly the limes smell!" Crocker talk. 

E don stop for front of one garden, and e hold Shelton for one button for im coat. Im eyes, like dog own, dey look with longing. E be like say e wan talk, but e dey fear to offend.
