El darrer terç del discurs fou malmes pel renovellament de lluites i altres divertiments entre alguns nois de mala conducta, i per les inquietuds i murmuris que s'estenien arreu arreu, banyant, fins i tot, els fonaments de roques isolades i incorruptibles com Sid i Mary.
The latter third of the speech was marred by the resumption of fights and other recreations among certain of the bad boys, and by fidgetings and whisperings that extended far and wide, washing even to the bases of isolated and incorruptible rocks like Sid and Mary.
