...flatulent as a bursting pig's blatter, but grandiloquent. Munger proclaims them with full voice, but he is physically too small for the part. There is something wonderfully absurd about his talk of war and glory.

LaFarge has exploited the Castle mystique for all it is worth. His piece is a good example of how to be precious and get away with it. Unfortunately, he doesn't get away with anything in another piece written...
