I find, though, that it has some of the most boring chapters in English prose that I have ever read. I much prefer Billy Budd. -- Chris Grevstad "Affection is a noble quality; It leads to generosity and jollity. But it also leads to breach of promise If you go around lavishing it on red-hot momise."
