_Tutor_ (_after a pause_). Ah, of course that alters the case. If you

_Undergraduate_ (_breaking in_). Certainly, Sir. I do give you the
assurance.
_Tutor_. That being so, I dismiss you with a caution.
[_Exit Undergraduate. The Tutor is left pondering._

because you could not find employment there?
_Rural Labourer_.
