FRANKNESS
I pay my homage at once. (He kisses his hand.) But no! I think I shall do it more as they do in a play, for that will be more reverential:
O Victory, goddess so greatly revered,
Take my life in thy care
And cease not to crown me with garlands.
Euripides, close of Phoenissac, Orestes, Iphigenia om Tauris.

VIRTUE
Well, then, let us now initiate our second bowl of wine. Let us summon up those others to be punished for the insults they are inflicting upon us. Frankness shall accuse each of them.
