"I am afraid, sir," said George, "that the prisoner must have spent the greater part of this money." Every one smiled, indeed it was all George could do to prevent himself from laughing outright. The Mayor brought out his purse, counted the money, and handed it good-humouredly to Panky, who gratefully received it, and said he would divide it with Hanky.
"This is very strange," said Hanky, who was beginning to be afraid of my father when he learned that he sometimes killed people. Here the Professors talked hurriedly to one another in a tongue which my father could not understand, but which he felt sure was the hypothetical language of which he has spoken in his book.
In England Dr. Downie would be a Broad Churchman." "Do you think we shall ever get rid of Sunchildism altogether?" "If they stick to the cock-and-bull stories they are telling now, and rub them in, as Hanky did on Sunday, it may go, and go soon.
If he had had to play the part of Othello he would have blacked himself all over, and very likely smothered his Desdemona in good earnest. Hanky would hardly have blacked himself behind the ears, and his Desdemona would have been quite safe. Philosophers are like quails in the respect that they can take two or three flights of imagination, but rarely more without an interval of repose.
The King, with whom the appointment rested, was so much pleased with this answer that he gave Hanky the professorship without so much as looking . . . " Professor Gabb to Mrs. Humdrum: "Oh no, I can assure you there is no truth in it. What happened was this.

As for Panky he was morally in a state of collapse, and did not count.
Many of us know the truth, but a story came down from Bridgeford that it was an evil spirit who had assumed the Sunchild's form, intending to make people sceptical about Sunchildism; Hanky and Panky cowed this spirit, otherwise it would never have recanted.

"Those who are in favour of this compromise hold up their hands." The Mayor and Yram held up theirs. "Will you hold up yours, Professor Hanky," said George, "if I release you?"
"It hasn't quite ended yet, has it?" remarked Peter. "No, thank you, no champagne!" "Not ended?" repeated Logan, bottle in hand.
