Ted had just returned from college, resplendent in extra wide trousers, silk hoslery, a fancy waistcoat, and smart necktie.
He entered the library where his father was reading. The old gentleman looked up and surveyed his son. The longer he looked, the more disgusted he come.
- "Son", he finally said. "You look like a damned fool!"
Later, the old Major who lived next door came in and greeted the boy heartily
- "William", he said with undisguised admiration, "you look exactly like your father did twenty five years ago when he came back from college!"
- "Yes", replied William with a smile, "So father was just telling me".
