'So I defy you with Clemency. 'Ha, ha, ha, for Self and Craggs, said Snitchey. 'What a defiance! 'Not so bad a one as it appears, may be, said Alfred, shaking hands heartily with the Doctor, and also with Snitchey and Craggs, and then looking round. 'Where are the Good Heavens!
You are right to keep quite aloof from all parties in such a matter, which is not one in which grave men like you could interfere, on any side. But I shall soon make all that up in an altered life.
