Few patriots can live so long without eating, and some of the applicants will be compelled to go to work in the meantime. If that kills them, you will be liable to prosecution for murder." "You underrate their powers of endurance," the official replied. "What!" said the Lawyer, "you think they can stand work?" "No," said the other - "hunger."
