W. Why, then, dost thou refuse to answer my question?
T. Because I will not.
W. But why will you not?
T. Then, thou wouldst claim an exception to my cause.
W. I claim only consistency.
T. Am I inconsistent?
W. When thou wilt answer as thou knowest, thou art consistent; but when thou seest not what is true, thou mayest be inconsistent with truth. Thou wilt not say thou art consistent in all things.
T. Who art thou?
W. I am thy friend.
T. How may I know thee to be my friend?
