But beyond that it dragged for me. Of course I knew the story in advance and that might account for my impatience. Much of the language is of the arcaic nature and that in itself added to the tedium. Duma was a wordsmilth of the highest order, in his day, but unfortunately, his day is long past. It is classic literature and for anyone unfamiliar with Duma and his series of period fiction I believe it is a worthwhile read.
