| "What sort of insects do you rejoice in, where _you_ come from?" the Gnat inquired. "I don't _rejoice_ in insects at all," Alice explained, "because I'm rather afraid of them---at least the large kinds. But I can tell you the names of some of them." "Of course they answer to their names?" the Gnat remarked carelessly. "I never knew them do it." "What's the use of their having names," the Gnat said, "if they won't answer to them?" "No use to _them_," said Alice; "but it's useful to the people that name them, I suppose..." |

If there has been a mistake in the law, or if I think there has been perjury or injustice, I will weigh the petition most carefully, but I do not permit myself to be moved by more harrowing details, and I try to treat each case as if I was reviewing it or hearing it for the first time from the bench. |
