Parrhesiades

Ah, here is a lovely one coming, as far as one can judge in deep water, all the colours of the rainbow, with gold bars across the back. Do you see, Exposure? this is the sham Aristotle. There he is; no, he has shied. He is having a good look round; here he comes again; his jaws open; caught! haul up.

Aristotle

You need not apply to me; I do not know him.

Parrhesiades

Very well, Aristotle; over he goes.

PLATO

Over the same cliff with him! Let down for another.

FRANKNESS

Ah, I see a very handsome one coming up, as far as can be judged in the deep water; of many colours, with golden stripes on his back.¹ Do you see him, Investigation?

INVESTIGATION

He is the kind that claims the name of Aristotle.

FRANKNESS

He came up and then swam away again. He is making a careful survey. Now he has come back again; he has opened his mouth; he is caught. Up with him.
