Doctor Bastwick, a physician in high repute, expressed sympathy for Barrister Prynne as he stood in the sun on the scaffold, consoling him with a word of friendship and a foolish tear.

Thereupon Masuda asked him how it was so many countries had been brought to acknowledge the sway of a single man....
