Put down everything, then you don't forget anything." That is the plan he always pursued himself.

The list made, he would go over it carefully, as he always advised, to see that he had forgotten nothing.

Then he would go over it again, and strike out everything it was possible to dispense with.

What we have to do now is to finish this list." Now I come to think of it, I never did get off that story; something always interrupted it.
