LECTOR. All the more reason, Scriptor, that you should desire a hereafter. You sometimes talk of the work you would do if you were a robust Philistine such as I. Would it not be worth while to live again, if only to make sure of that magnum opus just to realise those dreams that you say are daily escaping you? SCRIPTOR. Ah! so speaks the energetic man, eager to take the world on his shoulders.
But Glovelier is a place of no excellence whatever, and if the thought did not seem extravagant I should be for putting it to the sword and burning it all down. LECTOR. Why your benediction? AUCTOR. Who else can give benedictions if people cannot when they are on pilgrimage? Learn that there are three avenues by which blessing can be bestowed, and three kinds of men who can bestow it.
LECTOR. It does not seem to me that this part of your book is very entertaining. AUCTOR. I know that; but what am I to do? LECTOR. Why, what was the next point in the pilgrimage that was even tolerably noteworthy? AUCTOR. I suppose the Bridge of Boats. LECTOR. And how far on was that?
The dotted line is the line of vision just as one got to a 'step'. The little figure is AUCTOR. LECTOR is up in the air looking at him. Observe the perspective of the lake below, but make no comments. I went very slowly.
Some people would say it was a man coming home from the Crusades that had made them this eastern way, others that it was a symbol of something or other. But I say LECTOR. What rhodomontade and pedantry is this talk about the shape of a window? AUCTOR. Little friend, how little you know! To a building windows are everything; they are what eyes are to a man.
I am sure that it matters much to many, to most of us. It does, I know, to me. SCRIPTOR. Less than you think, my dear Lector. Besides, you are really too young to know. It is true that, as years go, you are ten years my senior, but what of that? You have that vigorous health which is the secret of perpetual youth. You have not yet realised decay, not to speak of death.
These being finished, the people chanted the first verse of the Gloria Patri, after which the clergy alternated with the people the Kyrie, pretty much as the custom is now. Here a fresh roll was brought to the Lector, then or afterwards called Apostolus, from which he read one of the canonical epistles.
Darwin's manner to put his reader on his guard; we might as well expect Mr. Gladstone to put us on our guard about the Irish land bills. Caveat lector seems to have been his motto. Mr. Spencer, in the articles already referred to, is at pains to show that Mr.
LECTOR. Where are they? AUCTOR. They are still in Switzerland; not here. They were overnumerous as I maundered up from where at last the road leaves the valley and makes over a little pass for a place called Schangnau.
All the vestments were of the purest white. The mass began by the bishop giving his blessing; and then the Lector, a man of venerable age, taking the roll called Lectionarium, and proceeding to a pulpit, read the Prophets to the people, much in the way observed among ourselves still on holy Saturday and the vigil of Pentecost.
