TALE THREE.
A STORY OF THE CHICAGO GHETTO.
PUNISHMENT.
“Nor custom, nor example, nor vast numbers
Of such as do offend, make less the sin;
For each particular crime a strict account
Will be exacted; and that comfort, which
The damn’d pretend, follows in misery,
Takes nothing from their torments; every one
Must suffer in himself the measure of his wickedness.”
—Massinger.
