I agree, and hadn't noticed that either. Thanks, JulieW! Written by Tom P2 (10/18/2008 4:45 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Neat, penned by Robbin

It's of a piece with the large amount of time he spends shooting. They're both less-than-useful pursuits, as hinted at in ch6:

...a woman of real understanding might have given more consequence to his character, and more usefulness, rationality, and elegance to his habits and pursuits.

Always supposing that he's incapable of gaining Consequence, Rationality, etc. by himself!
