[78]
“But, my dear sir, he
will rely on public services.” When and where performed? His father's?
Why, there are none. His own? You will find record of delations, arrests,
informations—but no services. Or perhaps, putting these aside, his
numerous and highly respectable kinsmen will come forward and beg him off. But
there are none and never were. How could there be, when he is not even a
free-born citizen?
