A frightful man enters, and looks at himself in a glass.
"Why do you look at yourself in the mirror, since you can view yourself
only with displeasure?"
The frightful man answers me: "Sir, in accordance with the immortal
principles of '89, all men have equal rights; therefore I have the
right to behold myself; with pleasure or displeasure, that concerns
only my conscience."
In the name of common sense, I was surely right; but, from a legal
standpoint, he was not wrong.
