'Justice

'Justice,' said Sir Wilfred, 'is the capacity for regarding each case as an entirely new problem.' After a few months of his administration, Sir Wilfred was able to point with some pride to a marked diminution in the number of cases brought before him.
One morning, soon after Paul began on his special régime of reclamation, his companion was called up before the Governor,Fake Designer Handbags.
'God bless my soul!' said Sir Wilfred; 'that's the man I put on special treatment. What is he here for?'
'I was on night duty last night between the hours of 8 p.m. and 4 a.m.,' testified the warder in a sing song voice, 'when my attention was attracted by sounds of agitation coming from the prisoner's cell. Upon going to the observation hole I observed the prisoner pacing up and down his cell in a state of high excitement. In one hand he held his Bible, and in the other a piece of wood which he had broken from his stool. His eyes were staring; he was breathing heavily, and at times muttering verses of the Bible. I remonstrated with the prisoner when he addressed me in terms prejudicial to good discipline.'
'What are the words complained of?' asked the Chief Warder.
'He called me a Moabite, an abomination of Moab, a wash pot, an unclean thing, an uncircumcised Moabite, an idolater, and a whore of Babylon, sir.'
'I see. What do you advise, officer?'
'A clear case of insubordination, sir,' said the Chief Warder. 'Try him on No. 1 diet for a bit.'
But when he asked the Chief Warder's opinion, Sir Wilfred was not really seeking advice. He liked to emphasize in his own mind, and perhaps that of the prisoner's, the difference between the official view and his own. 'What would you say was the most significant part of the evidence?' he asked.
The Chief Warder considered. 'I think whore of Babylon, on the whole, sir.'
Sir Wilfred smiled as a conjurer may who has forced the right card.
'Now I,' he said, 'am of different opinion,fake uggs online store. It may surprise you, but I should say that the significant thing about this case was the fact that the prisoner held a piece of the stool.'
'Destruction of prison property,' said the Chief Warder. 'Yes, that's pretty bad.'
'Now what was your profession before conviction?' asked the Governor, turning to the prisoner.
'Carpenter, sir.'
'I knew it,' said the Governor triumphantly. 'We have another case of the frustrated creative urge. Now listen, my man. It is very wrong of you to insult the officer, who is clearly none of the things you mentioned. He symbolizes the just disapproval of society and is, like all the prison staff, a member of the Church of England. But I understand your difficulty. You have been used to creative craftsmanship, have you not,fake montblanc pens, and you find prison life deprives you of the means of self expression, and your energies find vent in these foolish outbursts? I will see to it that a bench and a set of carpenter's tools are provided for you. The first thing you shall do is to mend the piece of furniture you so wantonly destroyed,replica gucci wallets. After that we will find other work for you in your old trade. You may go. Get to the cause of the trouble,' Sir Wilfred added when the prisoner was led away; 'your Standing Orders may repress the symptoms; they do not probe to the underlying cause.'
