This time of suffering throws fresh light upon his character.

I have said that sweetness and gentleness were not its only constituents; that he was also fiery and strong.

At the time now referred to, his fire was low and his strength distilled away; but the residue of his life was neither irritability nor discontent.

He was unfit to mingle in society, for conversation was a pain to him; but let us observe the great Man-child when alone.

He is at the village of Interlaken, enjoying Jungfrau sunsets, and at times watching the Swiss nailers making their nails.
