Don't you remember? Only answer me that!" By-the-by, interrogatories artfully put may lead an unsuspicious reasoner, you know, always to your own conclusion. In addition to the patience, philosophy, and other good things which Socrates learned from his wife, perhaps she taught him this mode of reasoning.
