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."
