It would be dishonorable.
We often think that if we had been placed in the same difficulties which we see overwhelm others, we could have got out of them.

Just so; we might have squeezed, or wriggled, or crept out of a position from which another who would not stoop could not have escaped.

People are differently constituted.

Most persons with common-sense can sink their principles temporarily at a pinch; but others there are who go through life prisoners on parole to their sense of honor or duty.

If escape takes the form of a temptation, they do not escape.
