So I have to tell you that that leaf in my heart and in your heart, that leaf of judgment, that all-comprehensive leaf, has a wide margin for cancellation. There is only one hand in all the universe that can touch that margin. That hand this moment lifted to make the record null and void forever.
Don't you see what abominable nonsense it all is?" The argument was cut short by the ringing of a tremendous bell.
