The unflinching manner in which Captain Poke submitted to the mortal process of decaudization extracted plaudits from, and awakened sympathy in every monikin present. Having satisfied myself that the tail was actually separated from the body, I ran, as fast as legs could carry me, towards the hall of the twelve judges.
Of this crime, after a singularly patient and impartial hearing, you have been found guilty. The law allows the court no discretion in the case.
