"Yes, Dr. Claudius, you understand that very well;" and Margaret turned towards him as she spoke. "The Doctor understands many things," said Barker in parenthesis.
After inaugurating his work by quoting the Horatian sneer, "Spectatum admissi risum teneatis, amici?" he at once plunges in medias res, and not mincing his language, says: "This impudent vagabond is a native of Wallachia, born of Christian parents in the city of Trogovisti;" and throughout his exposure employs phrases which are decidedly more forcible than polite.
His clear and succinct statement of the pending question put a new phase upon it, and the House seemed surprised. He proceeded then to debate the question; and very soon he was in medias res, and his bold and lucid argument won the attention of every one.
