"Come along; I'll take you in the car. Your men can trot along beside us," said the Duke to the inspector. He slipped into the car, the inspector jumped in and took the seat beside him, and they started. They went slowly, to allow the two policemen to keep up with them.

God, heaven, politics, philosophies, ambition, love Mr. Darrow has deflated them time and again charging from $1 to $2 a seat for the spectacle.
