Because the last few chapters were longer, I looked at the number of pages in the whole novel: 367. There are 61 chapters, so that's just over six pages per chapter on an average. The last few chapters were actually the average length, and the initial chapters were shorter, which means some later chapters will be longer than average :( Reading now:
_________________________
9:52 a.m. Chapter IX.
9:53 a.m. A scene with even more characters. This much is still true about the structure: Each chapter restricts itself to one scene.
9:56 a.m. Interesting debate on characters, also on city mice and country mice :)
9:58 a.m. Change of topic, labeled explicitly as such :)
10:01 a.m. At last the talk's of love again :) and here, too, an interesting point! And all of this is being said by the characters, none of it is narrated exposition.
10:05 a.m. The chapter closes with promises of not one, but two future balls. That serves to move forward the story, because it appears to happen mostly during balls.
10:07 a.m. Done. And this chapter was five pages, which means some chapter in the future will have to be even longer :(
