"Though I kept it while I could, the law was made for the safe-guarding of prosperous men, but with such as I am it is every man for his own hand and the devil to care for the vanquished. Still, there is a reservation." Courthorne nodded. "It's unlawful, but not against the unwritten code." "Well," said Winston quietly. "When you tell me what you want I should have a better opinion."
