With certain minds, under certain conditions, it becomes absolutely irresistible. I am not more certain that I breathe, than that the assurance of the wrong or error of any action is often the one unconquerable force which impels us, and alone impels us to its prosecution.

"Fair's fair and wrong's wrong," she returned firmly.
"I'll not try it. Right's right, Mart Culpepper, and wrong's wrong for me and for Johnnie Barclay, white, black, brown, or yellow 'tis the same." "There's nothing in your theory, Mart," cut in the general, folding his paper across his knee; "not a thing in the world.
