Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vacation Rambles
I will add a family story connected with the name which greatly delighted us at the time. One of the letters reached your grandmother when a small boy cousin of yours (since developed into a distinguished dark blue athlete and ma. Oxon.) was staying with her for his holidays. He had just begun Latin, and was rather proud of his new lore, so your grand mother asked him how he should construe Vacuus Viator. After serious thought for a minute, and not without a modest blush, he replied, I think, granny, it means a wandering cow You must make my peace with the m.a. Oxon. If he should ever dis cover that I have betrayed this early essay of his in classical translation.
