The narrative of the healing of the woman is embedded in the account of the raising of Jairus's daughter. Mark the impression of calm consciousness of power and leisurely dignity produced by Christ's having time to pause, even on such an errand, in order to heal, by the way, the other sufferer.
The keynote of the 'treatise' lies in the first words, which describe the Gospel as the record of what 'Jesus began to do and teach, Luke would have gone on to say that this second book of his contained the story of what Jesus went on to do and teach after He was 'taken up, if he had been strictly accurate, or had carried out his first intention, as shown by the mould of his introductory sentence; but he is swept on into the full stream of his narrative, and we have to infer the contrast between his two volumes from his statement of the contents of his first.
He accepted the advice gratefully and acted on it. A few years later he married the girl, and I presume that he told her of my share in this matter. She probably held me responsible and no doubt influenced him to some extent in a course of action, referred to farther on in this narrative, that I have always regarded with regret.
And this in spite of their great reverence for Leskov, the greatest of Russian story-tellers. But of Leskov they have only imitated the style, not his art of narrative. The perfective is the ordinary style of an honest narrative. The "imperfective" is where nothing definitely happens but only goes on indefinitely "becoming." But never has this "imperfective" been so exclusively paramount as now.
When I first returned to consciousness, I found myself lying exactly where I had fallen. Around me lay heaps of slain the two of "ours" amongst the number. Whether he had himself seized it in the enthusiasm of my narrative of flood and field, or it had been put there by another, I know not, but he certainly cut a droll figure.
Here my friend, who had with difficulty pursued his way through the mouldy pages of the decayed manuscript, was compelled to make a final pause. The long action of time and damp had nearly obliterated the remainder of the narrative, and glimpses only of romantic perils by sea and land were occasionally discernible.
I am sure that I am very apt to confound the characters in a moderately interesting novel; indeed, I suspect that the writer is often no better off than the reader in the dreary middle of the story, when his characters have all made their appearance, and before they have reached near enough to the denoument to have fixed their individuality by the position they have arrived at in the chain of the narrative.
They were labouring under that terrible fever which carried off the French with so much rapidity, when they were invited by the governor to sign this narrative.
The several tribes of people mentioned in the narrative. The providential conditions favorable to the conquest just at that time. The cruelties of the Israelites to their enemies. Select examples and discuss each. The significance of the war. The character and work of Joshua.
The adventures of the third month you have heard from the mouth of Mahoud; I shall therefore only continue my narrative from the time that he left me with the book in my hand.
