“Do you know of any act that would condemn him as a teacher?”
“Yes,” said Dr. Tildsley, “he favoured an early peace.”
“Don’t you want an early, victorious peace?”
“Why ask me a question like that?”
“Because I want to show you how unfair you have been to this teacher.”
“But Mr. Mufson wanted an early peace without victory,” said Dr. Tildsley.
“He didn’t say that, did he? He did not say an early peace without victory?”
“No.”
“Then you don’t want an early peace, do you?”
“No.”
