2 " In my father's last letter he said that the world is run by those willing to take the responsibility for the running of it.

Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. "

" I performed the task," I protest. " I did what you bid me do." " You defended the weak from the strong." Larkspur speaks as if from far away. " But who will defend these poor weak infants against you!? "
