As we worked our jaws we got into conversation; we began complaining to each other of the lengthiness of the service. "The rule here approaches that of Mount Athos," I said; "but at Athos the night services last ten hours, and on great feast-days fourteen! You should go there for prayers!" "Yes," answered my companion, and he wagged his head, "I have been here for three weeks.
You will be weary of my lengthiness; and perhaps I am lingering too long over the earlier portion of my narrative. Something is due to the disproportion assumed in our memories by the first twenty years of existence something, perhaps, to reluctance to passing from comparative sunshine to shadow.
His immense and heart-breaking lengthiness is not mere verbosity: it comes partly from the artist's natural delight in a true and newly found method, partly from a still more respectably artistic desire not to do the work negligently.
Then, looking at the Keeper of the Seals, "Monsieur," said he, "you will explain this better than I. Have the goodness to do so before reading the decree." All this explained without lengthiness, with grace and clearness, he began to read the decree, as it has since been printed and circulated everywhere, some trifling alteration excepted.
There are two further reasons in extenuation of this lengthiness. In the first place it gave me an opportunity of developing my views, in a positive fashion, with respect to matters which are connected with this, though very different, and which are of more general scientific and practical interest to-day.
