...Swellington got drunk, Gosling, even though he did not like the taste of liquor, would follow his friend's example. This is the statement that "D" challenges. I do not say that Gosling does drink to excess, but I say that he will if Swellington does, and I draw the conclusion from Gosling's conduct in other matters.

...assort them carefully. Pick out some plump and tender specimens, and mix with them a few thin and tough ones. If possible, have one or more of them boast that he knows nothing about speaking. Next proceed to make a small hole in the skull of each judge and draw out his brains. They are now ready for use. Place them under a slow gas fire from the speakers for two hours or more, and then remove them to another apartment. Plunge them at once into a stewpan, sprinkle in a liberal allowance of pepper, and let them simmer...
