AN eminent¹ Justice of the Supreme² Court of Patagascar was accused
of having obtained his appointment by fraud.

  "You wander," he said to the Accuser; "it is of little importance
how I obtained my power; it is only important how I have used it."

  "I confess," said the Accuser, "that in comparison with the
rascally³ way in which you have conducted yourself on the Bench, the
rascally way in which you got there does seem rather a trifle."
