Hob's Story: "Uncle Theophilus"
(I'm afraid we're rather late in getting into Mr. Priestley's lesson
today; it looks as if it's justfinishing; but we '11 listen to the last of it.)
MR. PRIESTLEY:... Well, I think that's enough grammar for today, but before we go on to something else, do you remember, Hob, what an auxiliary verb is?
HOB: An auxiliary verb?... an auxiliary?... No, I'm sorry I don't know.
MR. PRIESTLEY: But I told you about it only yesterday.
HOB: Yes, I've heard the word-at least 1 think 1 have-but I've completely forgotten all about it.
MR. PRIESTLEY: Oh, Hob, what a memory you've got!
HOB: Yes, it's terrible, isn't it. But talking about "memory" reminds me of my Uncle Theophilus.
LUCILLE: What, another uncle?
HOB: Oh yes, and the best of the family. May I tell them about him, Mr. Priestley?
MR. PRIESTLEY: Well, as I don't suppose you'll ever know what an auxiliary is, and as this lesson is really over now, 1 think you might as well.
HOB: Thank you, sir. Well, my Uncle Theophilus (we always call him Theo) is the uncle with the real brains. You would like him, Mr. Priestley-he could tell you at once what an auxiliary is. He's my oldest uncle, a tall, thin, grey-haired man whose thoughts were always on learning and nothing else. He's quiet and gentle and absent-minded and with about as much sense as a child where money is concerned. Well, he applied for a post in Camford University. It was a very good post and there were hundreds of candidates who applied for it, and about fifteen, including Theo, were asked to go to be interviewed.
Now Camford is a very small town, there is only one hotel in it, and this was so full that they had to put many of the candidates two
in a room. Theo was one of these, and the man who shared the room with him was a self-confident fellow called Adams, about twenty years younger than Theo, with a loud voice, and a laugh that you could hear all over the hotel. But he was a clever fellow all the same. Well, the Dean, that's the head of the department of the University, and the committee interviewed all the candidates; and as a result of this interview, the number was reduced to two, Uncle Theo and Adams. The committee couldn't decide which of the two to take, so they decided to make their final choice after each candidate had given a public lecture in the college lecture-hall. The subject they had to speak on was-just a moment while I look at my notebook. Yes, it was "The Civilization of the Ancient Sumerians"; and the lecture had to be given in three day's time.
Well, for three days Uncle Theo never left his room. He worked day and night at that lecture, writing it out and memorizing it, almost without eating or sleeping. Adams didn't seem to do any preparation at all. You could hear his voice and his laughter in the bar where he had a crowd of people round him. He came to his room late at night, asked Uncle Theo how he was getting on with his lecture, and then told him how he had spent the evening playing billiards, or at the theatre or music-hall. He ate like a horse and slept like a log; and Uncle Theo sat up working at his lecture.
The day of the lecture arrived. They all went into the lecture-room and Theo and Adams took their seats on the platform. And then, Theo discovered, to his horror, that the typewritten copy of his speech had disappeared! The Dean said he would call on the candidates in alphabetical order, Adams first: and, with despair in his heart, Theo watched Adams calmly take the stolen speech out of his pocket and read it to the professors who were gathered to hear it. And how well he read it! Even Theo had to admit that he couldn't have read it nearly so eloquently himself, and when Adams finished there was a great burst of applause. Adams bowed and smiled, and sat down.
