Therefore, though, he had felt some pleasure in gaining a short release from the monotonous recitation of the Princess's history, he now saw the necessity of resuming it, or of listening to the matrimonial eloquence of the Empress. He sighed, therefore, as he said, "I crave your pardon, good our imperial spouse, and our daughter born in the purple chamber.
Certain principles are fundamental to good questioning in any recitation. The questions should be brief. They should be prepared by the teacher before coming to recitation. This will insure rapidity. A vast deal of time is lost by the unfortunate habit possessed by many teachers of never having the next question ready to use. They should precede the name of the pupil required to answer it.
What are the most important ideas here? Or the most beautiful? How do these statements remind you of others that you already know? Have you found any of these statements questionable? And, if so, how? Thus the conduct of the recitation will show the kinds of questions that must be expected. Gradually the teacher should refrain from putting the questions herself and leave that to the pupils.
Some of these pieces are essentially lyrical; and, therefore, cannot have their due force without a supposed musical accompaniment; but, in much the greatest part, as a substitute for the classic lyre or romantic harp, I require nothing more than an animated or impassioned recitation, adapted to the subject.
Both the child and the more mature student will ordinarily go only so far in preparation as is necessary in order to meet the demands made upon them in class.

The tramp of feet resounded through the building, for some recitation rooms were on the first floor, some on the second and some on the third. Two minutes later there was quiet in the great building. Recitation room doors were closed. One passing through the corridors would have heard only the indistinct murmur of voices from the different rooms.
But your "savvy" midshipman -he who knows much, and who is sure and confident with his knowledge, finds this week of final examinations a period of bliss and pride. He is going to "pass"; he knows that, and nothing else matters. Eight o'clock every morning, during this week, finds the midshipman in one recitation room or another, undergoing his final.
"I hope the study will soon be followed by a recitation," grinned Dalzell. "I feel that I'm going stale with so much study. Now, if we could only hear a few shots, and then fall in with an advancing firing line!" "You bloodthirsty wretch!" rebuked Ensign Darrin, but he smiled in sympathy. "This waiting and watching grows wearisome," groaned Danny Grin.
