To be sure, many ministers make fools of themselves when they pass judgment on questions which they do not understand.
But Montague was familiar with the saying, that if you follow the chain of the slave, you will find the other end about the wrist of the master; and he discovered that the Tenderloin was wreaking its vengeance upon Fifth Avenue.
