The people are often unpleasant people whozi you would loathe to meet in life. "You feel as if they were your relatives and you disliked them," as "Punch" observed of the "Clayhauger" family. Mr. Bennett neither likes them or dis likes them. He is only profoundly in- terested in them, as Fabre is interested in wasps and spiders, and he fills us with the contagion of his curiosity.
