Among the company was a lawyer, a young man of about twenty-five. on being asked his opinion, he said:

“capital punishment and life-imprisonment are equally immoral; but if i were offered the choice between them, i would certainly choose the second. it’s better to live somehow than not to live at all.”

there ensued a lively discussion. the banker who was then younger and more nervous suddenly lost his temper, banged his fist on the table, and turning to the young lawyer, cried out:

“it’s a lie. i bet you two millions you wouldn’t stick in a cell even for five years.”

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
