Adene.
Forcing an unjust war on a weak tribe is a different thing from misdirecting a bootjack.
Vera.
How are you to know the war was unjust? The people who made it had full knowledge. You come to judge them with very imperfect knowledge; and you appeal to the public, which has no knowledge at all!
Adene.
[Shaking his head.] When I write a book there is no danger of its appealing to the public.
Vera.
That is shirking! Besides, I am the public and it did appeal to me.
Adene.
