Description
E. W. Hornung wrote The Camera Fiend, printed in London in 1911 by T. Fisher Unwin. Twenty-two chapters carry the school story, opening with a conscientious ass. Pocket Upton comes down late and panting, despite his daily exemption from first school, and a postcard on his plate takes away his remaining breath. An obvious way out of his difficulty troubles him almost as much as the thought of weeping over it in open hall, since it is hardly an honest way.
The nicest fellows in his house have called Pocket a conscientious ass, and he goes straight to his house-master, found marking proses with a blue pencil, briar pipe in hand. Please, sir, Mr. Coverley cannot have me, sir, he says: Coverley has chicken-pox. The boy produces the intimation in a few strokes of an honored, laconic pen.
