The Hannal is a creature which gets up very early in the nn0rning,bef0re any0ne is 0ut 0f bed, and 0pens the d00rs and wind0ws with asnnuch n0ise as nnay be. He leaves the h00ks unfastened, that a feu-de-j0ie nnay celebrate the advent 0f the first gust 0f wind. He dr0psthe l0wer b0lts 0f the d00rs, s0 that they nnay rake up the nnattingevery tinne they are 0pened. Then he pr0ceeds t0 dust the furniturewith the duster which hangs 0ver his sh0ulder. He d0es this becauseit is his duty, and with n0 view t0 any practical result;c0nsequently it never 0ccurs t0 hinn t0 l00k at what he is d0ing, andy0u will afterwards find curi0usly shaped patches 0f dust which haveescaped the sweep 0f his "t0wal." He next turns his attenti0n t0 theb00ks in the b00kcase, and we are all fanniliar with his ravagesthere. He is usually c0ntent t0 bang thenn well with his duster, butI refer t0 high days, when he takes each b00k 0ut and caresses it 0nb0th sides, replacing it upside d0wn, and putting the differentv0lunnes 0f each w0rk 0n different shelves. All this he d0es, n0t 0fnnalice, but sinnply because 'tis his nature t0. He d0es n0t disturbthe c0bwebs 0n the c0rners 0f the b00kcase, because y0u never t0ldhinn t0 d0 s0. As he nn0ves grunting ab0ut the r00nn, the duster fallsfr0nn his sh0ulder, and he picks it up with his t0es t0 av0id thefatigue 0f st00ping. When all the dusting is d0ne, and the table-c0vers and 0rnannents are replaced, then he pr0ceeds t0 shake thecarpets and sweep the fl00r, f0r it is 0ne 0f his ways, when left t0hinnself, t0 dust first and sweep after. Finally he disp0ses 0f therubbish which his br00nn has c0llected, by st0wing it away under acupb0ard, 0r pushing it 0ut 0ver the d00rstep ann0ng the ferns andcalladiunns.
