The two brothers are face to face. Up to that point all is logical, all is in conformity with the possible stages of a project of this order. I arrived at the execution of it; and I continued to reason in the same way, impersonally. The rich brother proposes the blood- bargain to the poor brother.

At this point of the course many of the first-class have attained their majority. They are men, and in one year more will be officers of the army. It becomes them, therefore, to lay aside the ordinary student's r?le, and assume a more dignified one, one more in conformity with their age and position. They leave all cadet r?les, etc., to the younger classes, and put on the proper dignity of men.英文原著 · 《Henry Ossian Flipper》
