—But this is horrible, frightful, abominable.
—What is the use of these hard words? You yourself, through your authorized agent——

—Bah, you will re-elect the worthy General.
—I? I re-elect the General to give away my wine to Africans and manufacturers?
—You will re-elect him, I say.
—That is a little too much. I will not re-elect him, if I do not want to.
—But you will want to, and you will re-elect him.
—Let him come here and try. He will see who he will have to settle with.
—We shall see. Good bye. I take away your six hogsheads, and will proceed to divide them as the General has directed.
