was followed by another worthless rogue,
who flung away his modesty instead of his ignorance.

10. When the whole race of mankind had thus cast their burthens, the
_phantom_, which had been so busy on this occasion, seeing me an idle
spectator of what passed, approached towards me. I grew uneasy at her
presence, when, on a sudden, she laid her magnifying glass full before
my eyes. I no sooner saw my face in it but was startled at the shortness
