Lesson 24 Going Out for a Walk 外出散步
Walking for walking's sake may be as highly laudable and exemplary a thing as it is held to be by tho who practi
it. My objection to it is that it stops the brain. Many a man has profesd to me that his brain never works so well as
when he is swinging along the high road or over hill and dale.
This boast is not confirmed by my memory of anybody who
on a Sunday morning has forced me to partake of his adventure. Experience teaches me that whatever a fellow-guest may have
of power to instruct or to amu when he is sitting in a chair, or standing on a hearth-rug, quickly leaves him when
he takes one out for a walk. The ideas that come so thick and fast to him in any room, where are they now ? where that encyclopaedic knowledge which he bore so lightly ? where the kindling fancy that played like summer lightning over any
topic that was started ? The man's face that was so mobile is t now; gone is the light from his fine eyes. He says that A (our host) is a thoroughly good fellow. Fifty yards further on, he adds that A is one of the best fellows he has ever met. We tramp another furlong or so and he says that Mrs A is a charming woman. Prently he adds that she is one of the most charming women he has ever known. We pass an inn. He reads vapidly aloud to me:'The King's Arms. Licend to ll Ales and Spirits.' I foree that during the rest of the walk he
will read aloud any inscription that occurs. We pass a milestone. He points at it with his stick, and says'
Uxminster. II Miles.' We turn a sharp corner at the foot of the hill. He points at the wall, and says' Drive Slowly.' .I e far ahead, on the other side of the hedge bordering the high road, a small notice-board. He es it too. He keeps his eye on it. And in due cour.'Trespasrs,' he says, 'will be Procuted.' Poor man !—mentally a wreck.
