He took both Paul 's hands in his , and made him a long speech as to how he must learn to look out for what was great in human life , and to emulate him , his father , who , though always pursued by misfortune and plundered by the wickedness of men , had never allowed himself to be discouraged from aspiring to the stars , even in this miserable hole into which adverse fate had let him sink . And he knitted his brows and ruffled his hair , every inch of him grandeur and importance . Paul kissed both his hands and promised everything . At eight o'clock he saw on the high-road which led across the heath a carriage roll by , the silver ornaments of which sparkled in the morning sun . For a long time he looked after it . Everything seemed to him like a dream . He felt so exultantly glad that he was almost overpowered by happiness .
