Gregory was a great bibliopole, and in the course of the hour hauled out, and made his guest overhaul, no less than several musty old folios, and Fleda could not help fancying that he did it with an access of gravity greater even than the occasion called for. The grace of his manner, however, was unaltered; and at tea, she did not know whether she had been right or not.
The old bibliopole De Bury flattered himself that he admired wisdom because it purchaseth such vast delight.

Even if literature were not to be abolished altogether, it is safe to think that the world would be better off, if there were less writing.
