Matching Quote

"The male professor at Quinsy College ... by his very presence precipitated a thousand desperate necessities, a particular situation, needless to say, that often put in ludicrous but privileged ascendence those who would be gentlemen that late were grooms. He could act like a churl, use his hands for locomotion, or look like the Expansible Pig, the girls didn't care—instans instanter, he became a combination of father confessor, confidant, marriage counselor, friend, adept, and phantom lover."

-Alexander Theroux
