It is the dry and dusty accumulation of antiquarian lore, which has little or no application to modern life it is this which the young man of the higher classes is required to assimilate. Apropos of this, let me quote Dr.
They seemed extraordinarily exuberant as they went diving and splashing in the mud. Kielland turned and roared at them, shaking his fist. They stopped short, then slunk off with their tails between their legs. But even at that, their squeaking sounded strangely like laughter to Kielland.... In his quarters the light was so dim that he almost had his waders off before he saw the upheaval.
James or Miss Jewett, by Kielland or Bjornson, by Maupassant, by Palacio Valdes, by Giovanni Verga, by Tourguenief, in one of those little frames seems to me of an exquisite color and texture and of an entire literary preciousness, not only as regards the diction, but as regards those more intangible graces of form, those virtues of truth and reality, and those lasting significances which distinguish the masterpiece.
Just get your files in order and get a landing craft down here for me. The sooner the better." Simpson's face lit up in pathetic eagerness. "You mean we're going to leave?" "That's what I mean." "The company's not going to like it " "The company ought to welcome us home with open arms," Kielland snarled. "They should shower us with kisses.

I don't even care much any more." "Well I care, plenty. Do you realize how much those creatures are costing us? If we ever do get the finished product on the market, it'll cost too much for anybody to buy." Dr. Tarnier spread his hands. "Don't blame me. Blame them." "And then this so-called biological survey of yours," Kielland continued, warming to his subject.

The theme is akin to that of Daudet's L'Evangéliste; but Kielland, as it appears to me, has in this instance outdone his French confrère as regards insight into the peculiar character and poetry of the pietistic movement. He has dealt with it as a psychological and not primarily as a pathological phenomenon. A comparison with Daudet suggests itself constantly in reading Kielland.
