He had no beard. Young man, let your beard grow. Those who have forgotten all else about Pym may recall him in these words. They were his one counsel to literary aspirants, who, according as they took it, are now bearded and prosperous or Shaven and on the rates. To shave costs three pence, another threepence for loss of time nearly ten pounds a year, three hundred pounds since Pym''s chin first bristled. With his heard he could have bought an annuity or a cottage in the coun try, he could have had a wife and children, and driven his dog-cart, and been made a church-war den. All gone, all shaved, and for what? When he asked this question he would move his hand across his chin with a sigh, and so, bravely to the barber''s.
Pym was at present Suffering from an ailment that had spread him out on that sofa again and again acute disinclination to work.
