Ā They Ā were Ā in Ā fact Ā an Ā excuse Ā ; Ā REASONING Ā WHEN Ā THERE Ā IS Ā NONE. Ā āI Ā am Ā not Ā entirely Ā sure Ā as Ā of Ā yet.ā Ā He Ā confesses. Ā āYet Ā , Ā sometimes Ā the Ā greater Ā good Ā demands Ā sacrifice Ā does Ā it Ā not? Ā have Ā you Ā never Ā found Ā yourself Ā in Ā a Ā complicated Ā position?ā
