...humor. "Imagine at nearly three that mind of his ! I imagine it, you know, as a little house, a little honeycomb, made up of pearly white cells - glistening, dewy, lustrous, semitransparent, pearly pearly white cells: untrodden, untouched, and pure, oh pure beyond all conception of purity. Imagine by contrast with it the honeycomb house of a long-used mind, the mind of one past middle-age, and you will realize how pure and white and glistening and untouched it is.
