    “I say that Roger Casement
    Did what he had to do,
    He died upon the gallows
    But that is nothing new.”

In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
    —Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
