The clergyman stands by the hearth with his head bent and his hands behind him. He sighs wearily.
He waits your service, he is all agape and thirsty for more flattery and delicate cajolement, ... stuff him with praise, good youth! ... and who knows but a portion of his mantle may descend on YOU hereafter and make of YOU as conceited and pretty a bantling bard for the glory of proud posterity!"
