Moriaz , casting a melancholy look at his pillow . `` Now , candidly , is it the thing to seek the presence of the President of the Academy of Sciences between eleven o'clock and midnight , to pour such silly stuff into his ear ? You are wanting in respect for the Institute . Besides , my dear boy , people change in two years ; you are a proof of it . You have developed from boyhood almost into manhood , and you have done well to let your imperial grow ; it gives you quite a dashing military air -- one would divine at first sight that you were fresh from Hungary .
