How much greater is
the fire of his words as they stand than if he had
said, “You have abused our patience a long time,”
and “Your plots are all laid bare.” We may also
ask what cannot be denied, as “Was Gaius Fidiculanius Falcula, I ask you, brought to justice?”1
Or we may put a question to which it is difficult to
reply, as in the common forms, “How is it possible?”
“How can that be?”
