Context: I want to speak to you first of all as regards your duties as boys; and in the next place as regards your duties as men; and the two things hang together.

If a boy has not got pluck and honesty and common-sense he is a pretty poor creature; and he is a worse creature if he is a man and lacks any one of those three traits.
