He bestows no small quantity of his tediousness upon Mounsey, on whose mind all these formulas and diagrams fall like seed on stony ground: 'while the manna is descending, he shakes his ears, and, in the intervals of the debate, insinuates an objection, and calls for another half-pint. He is certainly the flower of the flock.
