And above all, his early claim of honor as a poet was to be justified by his possession of the fruits of study. But there was also in Dante a quality of mind which led him to unite the results of knowledge with poetry in a manner almost peculiar to himself. He was essentially a mystic. The dark and hidden side of things was not less present to his imagination than the visible and plain.
He longed to be writing a letter to the bishop. He was proud of his letters. Pen and paper were at hand, and he did write. I think it right to represent to your lordship the conduct, I believe I may be justified in saying the misconduct, of the Reverend Fenwick, the vicar of Bullhampton.
You are perfectly justified in declaring that having my reason and sound mind, I acted reasonably and in self-defence, while the Government, my aggressor, being irresponsible, and consequently insane, cannot but have acted madly and wrong; and if high treason there is, it must be on its side, not on my part."
But when these men did not turn up at the next point on the trail, and O'Brien did, the Police began rapid investigation. If there were no eye-witnesses in the case a web of circumstantial evidence would have to be woven around the figure of the fourth man of the party if the facts that would emerge justified it.

Crewe, with a wave of his hand, signified his pleasure that they should sit, and cleared his throat. "It's just as well, perhaps," he began, "that we haven't had the chance to see each other earlier. When a man starts out upon an undertaking of the gravest importance, wherein he stakes his reputation, an undertaking for which he is ridiculed and reviled, he likes to have his judgment justified.
Macaulay, who thought twelve years far too long, felt himself justified in supporting the Government during the preliminary stages; but he took occasion to make some remarks indicating that circumstances might occur which would oblige him to resign office, and adopt a line of his own. As time went on it became evident that his firmness would be put to the test; and a severe test it was.
It would seem unjust to General Hooker greatly to blame him for the success of that blow, which could not have been reasonably anticipated.
