"And to think we all sat pretty nearly every evening within a yard or two of that blessed will, and never knew anything about it!" he says, at last, in a tone of unmitigated disgust. He makes no reply. And for a full minute no word is spoken between them. "By all means study them, if you are really bent on this tiresome journey. It may do you good.
