STUDY HOURS. 43 



Mr. Wollaston was glad to hear John say this, and, after 

 some farther consideration and reflection, it was decided 

 that John should go. And it was under the operation of 

 this agreement that John had half an hour more of study 

 to provide for before he went to bed, on the evening of his 

 return from his visit to the Tower, as described at the com- 

 mencement of the chapter. 



But I have occupied so large a portion of this chapter 

 in explaining the nature of the agreement between Law- 

 rence and John, and the circumstances under which it was 

 made, that the explanation of the law of the squares of the 

 distances must go over to the next. I shall, however, let 

 the title stand ; we shall come to the subject in due time.
