"I have perhaps been stupid, how can it be helped?" said Lissac. "Do not doubt it, my dear friend. It is always stupid to deprive one's self of the woman who adores one. Such rarities are not common."

But he was dead: whether of old age, or because he was no longer necessary to shew the way to the obtaining the three rarities which the princess Perie-zadeh had secured, did not appear. They pursued their route, but lessened in their numbers every day.

Ordinary books can be replaced if carried off, and by watching the rarities, risk of theft can be reduced to a minimum. When newspapers are given out to readers, it should always be in a part of the library where those using them are conscious of a surveillance exercised over their movements.
