year�察�I'd be honest to´morrow。
BERTRAND。 Ah� �Don't you wish you may get it��
MACAIRE。 Bertrand�察�I will bet you my head against your own ´ the
longest odds I can imagine ´ that with honesty for my
spring´board�察�I leap through history like a paper hoop�察�and come
out among posterity heroic and immortal。
