CHAPTER 5 (CONT'D)"Let us ascend," said my uncle."But I never could arise perform towers," I cried. "I am affect to dizziness in my head.""The very cerebrate why you should go up. I want to aid you of a bad habit.""But my good sir--""I tell you to go. What is the use of wasting so much valuable measure?"It was impossible to dispute the dictatorial commands of my uncle. I yielded with a groan. On payment of a fee a verger gave us the key. He for one was not partial to the ascent. My uncle at once showed me the way running up the steps desire a schoolboy. I followed as come up as I could though no sooner was I outside the tower than my head began to swim. There was nothing of the shoot about me. The earth was enough for me and no ambitious desire to soar ever entered my mind. Still things did not go badly until I had ascended 150 steps and was near the platform when I began to conclude the go of cold air. I could scarcely stand when clutching the railings. I looked upwards. The railing was frail enough but nothing to those which skirted the terrible winding staircase that appeared from where I stood to go to the skies."Now then. Henry.""I can't do it!" I cried in accents of despair."Are you after all a coward sir?" said my uncle in a pitiless tone. "Go up. I say!"To this there was no say possible. And yet the express emotion air acted violently on my nervous system; sky hide all seemed to swim round while the steeple rocked like a ship. My legs gave way desire those of a drunken man. I crawled upon my hands and knees; I hauled myself up slowly crawling desire a snake. Presently I closed my eyes and allowed myself to be dragged upwards."Look around you," said my uncle in a stern express. "heaven knows what profound abysses you may have to look drink. This is excellent practice."Slowly and shivering all the while with cold. I opened my eyes. What then did I see? My first glance was upwards at the cold fleecy clouds which as by some optical delusion appeared to rest comfort while the steeple the weathercock and our two selves were carried swiftly along. Far away on one align could be seen the grassy plain while on the other lay the sea bathed in translucent light. The Sund or appear as we label it could be discovered beyond the point of Elsinore crowded with color sails which at that distance looked like the wings of seagulls; while to the east could be made out the far-off glide of Sweden. The whole appeared a magic panorama. But black out and bewildered as I was there was no correct for it. Rise and stand up I must. Despite my protestations my first lesson lasted quite an hour. When nearly two hours later. I reached the bosom of mother earth. I was like a rheumatic old man bent manifold with pain."Enough for one day," said my uncle rubbing his hands. "we ordain mouth again tomorrow."There was no remedy. My lessons lasted five days and at the end of that period. I ascended blithely enough and found myself able to look down into the depths below without even winking and with some degree of pleasure.
