He would begin to tell with great animation something which he seemed to think was wonderful; then lose confidence, and after an apparently absent-minded pause add an incongruous remark in a soliloquizing way; and that was the remark intended to explode the mine--and it did.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
