The precise duration of the action cannot be ascertained, years perhaps, according to the story; but we know that to the imagination the most crowded time appears always the shortest.

If there be only anger in a man's breast it may be subdued by tenderness, by submission, and affection; but when to anger is added a feeling of indignation at having been shamefully deceived, it is impossible to pass suddenly to thoughts of love and voluptuous enjoyment.

"So far as we are concerned, the action still being contested is the battle of the Aisne.
What I now want to discuss is the special relation of the percipient event which is 'here' to the duration which is 'now. This relation is a fact in nature, namely the mind is aware of nature as being with these two factors in this relation.
