"No," says I, "I've never indulged in the Scottish rite to any extent. Just a few swipes with a club." "Then I'm afraid," he begins, "that you will hardly "
Clemens, in his next contribution, admitted that Rice's reports might be parliamentary enough, but declared his glittering technicalities were only to cover misstatements of fact.
