HISTOEY OP CEIMINAL LAW 411 church and preached a sermon an hour and a half sheriff, too, was there in a red coat, and had nodoubt got his place by interest. Pomp and umbug Icalls it, and we poor chaps pays for it all. Fitzjamesheartily enjoyed good vernacular embodiments of popularimagination. He admitted that he was not quite insensi-ble to the pleasures of pomp and humbug as representedby javehn men and trumpeters. His work, as my quota-tion indicates, included some duties that were trivial andsome that were repulsive. In spite of all, however, hethoroughly enjoyed his position. He felt that he was dis-charging an important function, and was conscious of dis-charging it efficiently. There are few greater pleasures,certainly few were greater to him, than the exercise of acraft which one has so mastered as to have lost all theembarrassment of a beginner. He felt that he was notonly up to his duties
