...give as much time to each one as is essential to intelligent progress; and in view of this fact, some step should be taken to make the course equally profitable to all who have elected it for the purpose of getting the best results.

Just wait till I finish up this cigarette, and I'll give you an introduction to the whole of them" (he is not always particular about his rhetoric). I begged to be let off from such an ordeal, but expressed a desire to have him stop smoking and introduce me to his cousin before the next waltz.
