On
the
shell
it
is
fast
:
in
the
flesh
it
is
loose
;
but
always
has
for
a
kernel
a
small
hard
substance
,
maybe
a
barren
egg
,
maybe
a
grain
of
sand
,
around
which
the
pearly
matter
deposits
itself
year
after
year
successively
,
and
by
thin
concentric
layers
.
"
"
Are
many
pearls
found
in
the
same
oyster
?
"
asked
Conseil
.
"
Yes
,
my
boy
.
Some
are
a
perfect
casket
.
One
oyster
has
been
mentioned
,
though
I
allow
myself
to
doubt
it
,
as
having
contained
no
less
than
a
hundred
and
fifty
sharks
.
"
"
A
hundred
and
fifty
sharks
!
"
exclaimed
Ned
Land
.
"
Did
I
say
sharks
?
"
said
I
hurriedly
.
"
I
meant
to
say
a
hundred
and
fifty
pearls
.
Sharks
would
not
be
sense
.
"
"
Certainly
not
,
"
said
Conseil
;
"
but
will
you
tell
us
now
by
what
means
they
extract
these
pearls
?
"
"
They
proceed
in
various
ways
.
When
they
adhere
to
the
shell
,
the
fishermen
often
pull
them
off
with
pincers
;
but
the
most
common
way
is
to
lay
the
oysters
on
mats
of
the
seaweed
which
covers
the
banks
.
Thus
they
die
in
the
open
air
;
and
at
the
end
of
ten
days
they
are
in
a
forward
state
of
decomposition
.
They
are
then
plunged
into
large
reservoirs
of
sea-water
;
then
they
are
opened
and
washed
.
"
"
The
price
of
these
pearls
varies
according
to
their
size
?
"
asked
Conseil
.
"
Not
only
according
to
their
size
,
"
I
answered
,
"
but
also
according
to
their
shape
,
their
water
-LRB-
that
is
,
their
colour
-RRB-
,
and
their
lustre
:
that
is
,
that
bright
and
diapered
sparkle
which
makes
them
so
charming
to
the
eye
.
The
most
beautiful
are
called
virgin
pearls
,
or
paragons
.
They
are
formed
alone
in
the
tissue
of
the
mollusc
,
are
white
,
often
opaque
,
and
sometimes
have
the
transparency
of
an
opal
;
they
are
generally
round
or
oval
.
The
round
are
made
into
bracelets
,
the
oval
into
pendants
,
and
,
being
more
precious
,
are
sold
singly
.
Those
adhering
to
the
shell
of
the
oyster
are
more
irregular
in
shape
,
and
are
sold
by
weight
.
Lastly
,
in
a
lower
order
are
classed
those
small
pearls
known
under
the
name
of
seed-pearls
;
they
are
sold
by
measure
,
and
are
especially
used
in
embroidery
for
church
ornaments
.
