Explanation:

According to the book "Luck" by Mark Twain, the story is told of an English war hero Lord Scoresby who is a total idiot but managed to achieve legendary status by sheer luck. The Reverend was an instructor to Scoresby at military academy and tells how Scoresby somehow got through military school even though he is a complete idiot.
