"And just to show how much I love you, I am going to increase the debt, so that I may pay you more. Come here!" And with that he caught the boy by the arm, tied him again to the tree, and belted him till his arm was tired. "Now go," he said, "and tell your righter of wrongs. I wish I had flayed you alive, you young whelp." And so ended Don Quixote's first attempt to right wrongs.
"Presently she returned, all set to rights, and a little righter, too, for she had put a touch of rouge on to make the blush stick better, and her hair was slicked up snugger than before, and looked as if it had growed like anything.
The men folks don't want it and they dassn't say so for fear they'll get hit over the head with a maul or a fryin' pan at home. Get me? If you say yes, that you're a woman's righter out and out, you'll secretly lose the men's votes, but catch the women's.
"Especially when Mona coaches me beforehand," he laughed, unwilling to deceive her in the slightest degree. "Pooh," said Patty, "you're so right, even Mona can't make you any righter!" "Sur le pont D'Avignon, On y dansait, on y dansait, Sur le pont D'Avignon, On y dansait tout le rond!" Patty's sweet, clear soprano notes rang out gaily as she trilled the little song she had picked up in France.
As he lay on his bed day after day slowly recovering he woke up to the fact which most men arrive at sooner or later, I mean that very few care two straws about truth, or have any confidence that it is righter and better to believe what is true than what is untrue, even though belief in the untruth may seem at first sight most expedient.
"Yes," I said, "or, at least, if not that they are right, that they are the rightest we can attain to for the time being, and until we see something righter.
"O glorious restorer of knight-errantry!" he cried, "who can say enough in praise of the great Don Quixote de la Mancha, the righter of wrongs, the comfort of the afflicted and unhappy?" Don Quixote was amazed at these words, for he was certain that he was unknown to any one at the inn.
It was snowing as hard as ever, but they were not afraid now, for they each had hold of the man's hands, and they felt sure he Would get them safely home. "Are you all right now?" asked the man, as he walked along in the snow, kicking away the flakes in a cloud such as a plow might throw on either side. "Yes, we're all right now," Freddie said. "But we'll be righter when we get home."
This, of course, proves nothing for or against Socialism as a system. There was a Judas among the apostles; but it illustrates the point that Canada is still at the stage where every man may become a capitalist, a vested righter, the owner of his own freehold.
And the real Don Quixote of La Mancha, the famous, the valiant, the wise, the lover, the righter of wrongs, the guardian of minors and orphans, the protector of widows, the killer of damsels, he who has for his sole mistress the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso, is this gentleman before you, my master; all other Don Quixotes and all other Sancho Panzas are dreams and mockeries."
