Chapter XXXVI
"BEATUS ILLE ..." What, on this earth, is true happiness? To be able to dissociate one's self from the tussle and tangle of the political arena. There is no such happy man on this earth as your landed proprietor, who only learns what is going on in the political world from the columns of his daily paper. In the morning he goes out coursing; starts three hares, two of which are caught by his terriers; this is a real triumph.
