"Up till now, ez my friend, it would 'a' been perfectly proper fur you to give me your confidences ef you were minded so to do; but now I reckin you'd better not. You see, I'm the judge that's got to decide whether you are a responsible person whether you're mentally capable of handlin' your own financial affairs, or whether you ain't.
He said that he longed for a combat to decide the issue, and that he had charged Count de Brissac to tell Mayenne that he would give a finger of his right hand for a battle, and two for a general peace. He knew and pitied the sufferings of Paris, but the horrors now raging there were to please the King of Spain.
Ferdinand proposed to consult his wishes, but to unite those two officers in one; and as the person he appointed would have to decide in matters touching the highest functions of the admiral and his brothers, he was empowered, should he find them culpable, to supersede them in the government; a singular mode of insuring partiality!
To decide contrary to appearances, to judge from what they knew not, would prove them to be brutish and not rational, would make their decision of no worth, and render them, in their turn, objects of neglect and contempt. It is true that I hated school; that I sought occasions of absence, and finally, on being struck by the master, determined to enter his presence no more.

"Drive him from Klassan," replied another. "Let the Committee decide," spoke up a third, which remark was received with applause.
The other way is that of the lot or chance: the short straw would decide. This way has an outlet, but it does not reach the goal: it would alter the issue, for in such a case it is not man who decides.
