“I haven't much time to be fond of anything . . . But when I have a moment's fondness to bestow, most times . . . the roses get it.”
“To all of us who have been charged, we all agree that we don't feel like we were doing things that we weren't supposed to, because we were told to do them. We think everything was justified, because we were instructed to do this and to do that.”
