TRUTH

Come with us, Liberty and Free-speech, so that we may be able to rescue this poor creature, our admirer, who is facing danger for no just reason. You, Investigation, may stay where you are. 5

FRANKNESS

Hold, my lady: let him come too, if anyone is to come. Those whom I shall have to fight to-day are none of your ordinary cattle, but pretentious fellows, hard to argue down, always finding some loophole or other, so that Investigation is necessary.

INVESTIGATION

Yes, most necessary: and you had better take Proof along too.:

TRUTH

Come, all of you, since you appear to be necessary to the case.

PLATO

Do you see that? He is suborning Truth against us, Philosophy.

PHILOSOPHY

Then you, Plato and Chrysippus and Aristotle, are afraid that she, Truth, may tell some lie ‘in his behalf?

PLATO

It isn’t that, but he is terribly unprincipled and smooth-tongued, so that he will seduce her.

PHILOSOPHY

Have no fear. No injustice will be done while we have Justice here with us.
