Hanway-Harley would only say that churches were the conventional thing and studies were not. Richard capitulated; indeed he gave way instantly and at the earliest suggestion of "church."

"The governor answered me as I expected, that morally he felt as certain as I did of the innocence of the young prince, and would treat him with all possible consideration; but that it was necessary for justice to have its course, because it would be the only way of demonstrating the falsehood of the accusation, and discovering by what unaccountable fatality that mysterious sign was tattooed upon Djalma's arm.
