Prosecutor: What for?
Mr. Flowers: You wouldn't have me punish a child like that, would you?
Prosecutor: Of course I would—what have I had him brought in here for?
Mr. Flowers: I think he has been sufficiently punished.
Prosecutor: But look here—he has cut my cheek.
Mr. Flowers: Well, he did not do that on purpose.
Prosecutor: He snowballed me on purpose.
Mr. Flowers: Yes, but he didn't mean to cut your face.
Prosecutor: Well, he has done it, at all events.
Mr. Flowers: And he is very sorry, and so am I sorry; but I dare say when you were a boy you were in the habit of snowballing old gentlemen. At all events, I know I used to snowball people, and I am not going to fine any boy for doing what I used to do myself.
