Long, short, short, long

Reading Proust (again), I know to expect long paragraphs. But yesterday’s reading, pages 308–333 in the Penguin Sodom and Gomorrah, still took me by surprise.

First paragraph: 308–318. Second pargraph: 318–319. Third paragraph: 319–321. Fourth paragraph: 321–333.

For some silly reason I ignored the word pages in your first paragraph. So when I read the numbers in the second paragraph I thought, "My, that's a lot of words in each paragraph!"
