CHAPTER THE NINTH

disgusting; nor were the habits of the occupants much more cleanly. So he bring me to see this Suzanne, who were staying at an inn
nearby. Then suddenly he seized a new
preparation bottle that stood upon his table and contained the better part of a
week’s work—a displayed dissection of a snail, beautifully done—and hurled it
across the room, to smash resoundingly upon the cemented floor under the
bookcase; then, without either haste or pause, he swept his arm along a shelf of
re-agents and sent them to mingle with the debris on the floor. . "Of yourself," he replied, in a mournful tone. ’
