"One night after Cathedral, about five o’clock, the Professor of Hebrew, who lived near to Kynaston, was going into his house with some pupils in cap and gown. Kynaston, coming up, said, “What is all this?” To which his neighbour replied, “Men coming in who have an interest in Hebrew. You couldn’t get them to take an interest in Greek at this hour.” “Hebrew, it looks more like Tea-brew,” was Kynaston’s comment."
