From first to last, you know, in our profession,
The winged horse is viewed with reprobation:
But worst of all would be, if it got wind
That I against our primal law had sinn’d
By bringing secret matters to the light—
Falk.
That’s penal, is it—such an oversight?
Stiver [mysteriously].
It can a servant of the state compel
To beg for his dismissal out of hand.
