So far from dwelling upon this agreeable piece of information with the least dismay, Mark's face grew radiant as he called it to mind; so very radiant, that a stranger might have supposed he had all his life been yearning for the society of serpents, and now hailed with delight the approaching consummation of his fondest wishes. 'Who told you that? asked Martin, sternly.
Thanks, Miss Hanna; in the meantime I will enunciate a toast, and although we shall not draw very strongly upon sentiment for the terms, it shall be plain and pithy; here is 'that the saddle of infamy may be soon placed upon the right horse, and maybe there's an individual not a thousand miles from us, and who is besides not altogether incognizant of the learned languages, including a tolerably comprehensive circle of mathematics, who will, to a certain extent, contribute to the consummation of that most desirable event; here then, I repate, is the toast 'may the saddle of infamy soon be placed upon the right horse!"

It is equally important that we take note of that which is connoted by the final consummation offered by each of these two faiths to their followers.
Jude tells us Enoch the seventh man who lived on the earth testified, not of the first, but the Second Coming, saying: "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints." Then we find ourselves in the Revelation. This is the book of the Consummation. The supreme subject is the Second Coming. There are twenty-two chapters.
The custom of eating the lover after the consummation of the nuptials, of making a meal of the exhausted pigmy, who is henceforth good for nothing, is not so difficult to understand, since insects can hardly be accused of sentimentality; but to devour him during the act surpasses anything that the most morbid mind could imagine.
