寓言故事|The Debaters

来源:www.heibaiwei.com 2025-01-31
A HURLED1-BACK Allegation, which, after a brief rest, had again
started forth2 upon its mission of mischief3, met an Ink-stand in
mid-air.
How did the Honourable4 Member whom you represent know that I was
coming again? inquired the Hurled-back Allegation.
He did not, the Inkstand replied; he isn't at all forehanded at
repartee5.
Why, then, do you come, things being even when he had hurled me
back?
He wanted to be a little ahead.
