If you two Commissioners are allowed to proceed on your way you will doubtless work with the For eigners for our ultimate destruction. As you are really Ministers of the Throne it is not proper that we should summarily decapitate you; but we will (consult the oracle) ask our Patron Saint for his orders in regard to you,"
