[Elbow-Room by Charles Heber Clark (AKA Max Adeler)]@TWC D-Link bookElbow-Room CHAPTER IX 7/17
I know mighty well that I have a high and holy mission to perform, and I'm going to perform it if they burn me at the stake.
What do I care how much this pump costs me if it spreads blessings through the community? What difference does it make to a man of honor like me if chalk is six cents a pound so long as I know that without it there wouldn't be a membrane in this community? Now, look at the thing in the right light, and you'll believe me that before another century rolls around a grateful universe will worship the memory of the first milkman who ever had a pump and who doctored his milk with chalk.
It will, unless justice is never to have her own." Then Mr.Biles rigged the sucker in the pump, toned up a few cans of milk, corrected the acidity, and went into the house to receipt the judge's bill. Mr.Biles' theory interested the judge, but the argument did not convince him.
And so the judge resolved to buy a cow and obtain pure milk, without regard for the alleged views of Professor Huxley. Accordingly, he purchased a cow of a man named Smith, who lives over at the Rising Sun.
She was warranted to be fresh and a first-rate milker.
