"Is that another sort of joke?" asked the old man."You＇ve no excuse for being bored anywhere. When I was your age I had never heard of such a thing."
"You must have developed very late."
"No, I developed very quick; that was just the reason. When I was twenty years old I was very highly developed indeed. I was working tooth and nail. You wouldn＇t be bored if you had something to do; but all you young men are too idle. You think too much of your pleasure. You＇re too fastidious, and too indolent,and too rich."
