There we are gentlemen here is our

dommage and as you observe scarcely a
solitary acre of it under the plow quite
disgraceful where's this place Totten I
were supposed to be making wrong that
must be the church way over there in the
trees oughtn't we to consult the County.
Agricultural exec first after all we are
butting in on their job aren't where
unfortunately Fisher wick these masked
people refuse to recognize any authority
they claim to have some ridiculous.
Charter from some old King granting of.
Independence I believe that's correct
brother any other third to be precise of
course it has no legal meaning these
days the ministry is the supreme
authority here as everything else
nevertheless they persist with an
idiotic Charter they call the
corporation of the liberty of and editor.
March I think it might be tactful to
approach them in the first instance
trying to our fan depends on no sense of
humor as the basis for local page and
possibly but it interferes of the
property Kannamma negra cultural develop
of the country has occurred to you Finch
that in spite of the deplorable state of
their agriculture there are a number of
very prosperous looking residences in
these parts really could've battled all
the smuggling days no doubts precisely

face with me
everybody thinks that Oh let's... we the
king gave us our charter let us off a
few taxes allowed us to appoint our own
justices and so forth and that's why
it's called the Liberty and now these
white old Johnny's are going to tell us

[Music]
Too early burned open for half an hour
yet I don't want to drink
beg pardon I'm sure I have such a
monumental thirst myself I imagine will
you imagine wrong I'm looking for mr.
Wickes do you know what he is unknown I
expect he's down in the cellar watering
the beer mr. Wickes is a very honest man
I'm quite sure he isn't doing that are
you you know him and you better than I
know you
how are you anyway that's the sailor who
you'll just a girl

from London we're staying here amen
the bid wholesale isn't it please don't
be facetious this is most important I'm
a reporter I want to interview them
reporter one of those people go around
snooping huh that's a very rude way of
describing it
I don't like blue long noses especially
girls do I understand that you are
refusing to cooperate no no no not in
the least my idea of hell well of course
I can't answer for the others they are
an independent lot they they might
appeal to the corporation for instance
the corporation as you call it as an
exec stepped on is no longer recognized
by the stayed there forcibly but the
question is do the people recognize it
to which I can only answer they do
indeed for many of them the comes to the
corporation is the government that is
quite aside the point well then please
you said but you don't want to get
running for trespass to your Christmas
really I don't you understand the
functions were magistrates we are
members of a government sub Commission
and we still have the right to elect our
own magistrates mr. Finch that's one of
the few privileges remaining to the
council death and the power to seize
wrecks on the
beaches oh well we also have a charter
day with their little work on the land.
Colonel Gill what do all the able-bodied
men do with that time Oh
as always worth to do on the farm you
know

they're here that I form I thought can I
go to is rather pet where you'll carry

our banner run small solar overdrive he

funny man to be a fisherman don't see
why you know long ago when the sea went
back in the harbor dried up mm-hmm where
did the boatman unload their cargo into
puns and told about the creeks and the
marshes I believe it hey what's all this

word on that well we wasn't expecting
you so early no quarters on the OP oh

lily-white not pretty much the same yes
sir they do well that'll be all for this
morning good day captain bit old food
diary was do it I love this fish pee in
the house I think a couple of days how
long she drink about a week you it
hasn't smelled anything for years did
you do it all on the way back from the
marshes we did and it was a waste of
time fishing has to be taken seriously
all the features don't participate
everything in order Robert sighs I have
we detect a certain uneasiness in your
manner how about some coffee trade bring
two cups of coffee we were followed to
the Abbey by a girl
what sort of girl young girl quite a
pretty girl she represents a newspaper I
believe a lily-white I've been what I
told her which way the wind blew nothing
to worry about you the marsh girl it was
understood that if either of us ever got
mixed up with a lily-white in the
mineral business then we'd pack up and
go home we gave a solemn promise and him
very well once a considerable time ago
we was married to a lily watch me tell
me so far as we are aware and we still
own what happened she left us for the
quartermaster of the Buffs Nvidia
inferior fella what were you thinking
what did you do about it personally we
rejoiced any idea what happened to the
lady
we heard she settled down somewhere in
the south with a herd of cows and the
quartermaster sergeant what's the model
of all this CV we look back on the
business with great surprise at
ourselves if everything was a man's own
fault
that was we talked ourself into it we
told ourselves that we loved her and we
believed it
we endowed her with beauty of body and
soul greater than she or any other
living white could ever possess there's
men doing it all the time Robert
talking themselves up the aisle what
does the Lillywhite have to do nothing
nothing at all just sit tight and let
the fool talk well then when he's done
it then he spends the rest of his life
blaming her for not being what he told
us she was it's pitiful to watch Robert
pitiful that's the moral Robert I wish
padow wouldn't go wandering off on his
own he said something about a chat with
a coast guard for boys both he's fond of.
Coast Guard I wish I didn't find him
quite so chilly Oh a wheel from the.
Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries oh
please come inside gentlemen make
yourselves comfortable gentlemen drop of
bandy beer I should say whoever heard of
brandy in these days thank you thank you
no mr. Witt did my Minister is not
satisfied that the farmers in this area
are making the best use of their land
what's it got to do with your Minister
you're not contesting the government's
interest in feeding the people I presume
very good thing the people are starving
poor devil now assuming you set aside a
certain number of acres for grazing is
there any reason why the rest of it
shouldn't be turned over and soon with
the example potatoes never touch him oh
why starchy
good morning coast guard uh-huh
I'm from the agricultural sub-commission
we're having a look round you know
what's her name

fraction oh here's the flotsam mm-hmm

the time what with the sea and the ships

course the smugglers bye Joe look at
that door a wonderful piece of Lake
Norman come along fish away this is not
an archaeological rembo sure
I'm Tony Sherman used to tie their
thoats to the churchyard wall in the old
days that was before the sea went back

farm that we're going to visit must lie
at the bottom of the original harbor and
the sewage probably been officially move

stake

little bit of world anyway

westerly winds of gale force and
abnormally high tide well it's a good
high tide anyway last time we was

they've had is this the vessel in
question of course it is I mean it you
think there are half a dozen it might be
so mr. Bainbridge it might well be sir
it's an order of had there be no need
for huge amount mr. Bainbridge at this
state this is a very unfortunate
position to find yourself in captain
I'll have to take some particular name
little little fix the boat what place is

matter to the justices mr. Bainbridge
I have deemed it my duty to instruct
captain Biddle that the boat must have
no account be moved from its present
position a reporter I loved you work for
this the law is the law mr. Bainbridge
come what may.
Paulie this party religious past we are
the object of considerable amusement no
is he a lily-white
by the name of Polly she seems to know
you
she should she is our wife Oh morning
sir good morning in capsule well it's no
good asking you how you got in here the
question is how in Thunder you're ever
going to get out hello bill am I glad to
see you
the Colonel's right there what are we
going to do we have a matter under
consideration it will not be difficult
it's a question of building slipway a
watch slip way across the fields to the
seawall in with a system of pulleys
block Kentucky baby mr. Bainbridge is
the owner of our present Anchorage we
will go to some trouble to remove this -
tomato see waiting short you'll find
that he will yes you will find any will
seedling
why have you got on Bainbridge Christmas.
Mitch our fault not his surely Christmas
is once we had a wife by the name of.
Polly she left us for a certain
quartermaster sergeant good heavens you
don't mean a pudding redo room Great.
Scott these things are in the stands
you'll find that mr.
Umbridge will be pleased to build us a
flip when he as a Percy will which I
doubt who's going to pay for it no
matter of thumbs we propose to every
course to bottom ring why when this
finds itself in a foreign port without
the means to proceed elsewhere the
master is permitted to borrow money
ashore from any party on security of the
ship and its contents the maritime
contract known as bottom ray and who do
you suppose is going to advance money on
a land bound Rick we were thinking of.
Colonel Gil you were well and where's
the security in the hold you mean you
didn't dump the stuff overboard
certainly not we always deliver our.
Coggins will now leave you to talk over
the details we ourselves will visit mr.
Bainbridge seebik you are without
question the biggest scoundrel I've ever
met in my life
I've gotta get rid of that cargo at once
can't beat that Robert every nosy party
in the county will be hanging around
this Rick know she bothers get I'd
forgotten the sub Commission where
they've been buzzing around like horse
flies they must be kept away at all
costs
what about the corporation can't they do
anything the bailiff sergeant who's he
the seizing officer the corporation all.
Rick's belong by charter to the
corporation of the liver kick come on my
boy
ah we've come to have a little chat cap
which is the parlor sedan about the
removal last ship we would like to get
it refloated without delay you'd better
sit down let's talk it over and we see
it is the matter of constructing a
slipway the job should present very few
difficulties to an animation socialism
you mean I'm expected yourself to hit
the Bulge we understand one another we
will yeah yeah we take it that you
haven't yet discussed the matter with a
lady of those do I after pitch a shotgun
to you once we knew a fella like you
look like young talks like you a kid
pretty much the same he was a soldier
forms a kind of quartermaster sergeant
he took a fancy to a certain lily-white
known to it but a lot of himself to this
firm finally he got what he wanted in
the lily-white listen left deeply
devoted husband who are you to tell your
truth we weren't quite so mortified as
some folks thought we should all to abhi
no matter when you are ready to discuss
the construction of the sequani we
should be pleased to listen
[Music]
We will have our breakfast now it's
ready

haven't wasted much time everything it
all up well no not exactly why what's
the trouble having a little difficulty
getting aboard sir Oh si I see it well
strictly speaking you should go aboard
of course but in the circumstances you
it must be a painful experience to the
crew you known but we don't want to hurt
their feelings they're naturally they're
a bit sensitive
yes sir I hadn't thought of that you
better sit tight down here and don't
leave anyone else come near the
corporation solidly behind Jeremy thank
you that every lost something sir I was
wondering would it be an order if I went
home to fetch a stool and a bite to eat
later on Oh surely Capital idea I'll
hold the fort till you get back you
better come along out thank you
that's astonishing
she must have been whipped over the
seawall and pumped down in the Old.
Harbor by the storm intercepting a while
not I think we should investigate it's
nothing to do with us
I've been checking up on one or two
things lately Finch I think it might be
interesting to go aboard oh do you think
it lettuce it's a trawler isn't it

Fisheries nothing induced me to stay
near this place without police
protection any well and I shall make it
my business to see that the customs and.

slipway sea pig go in here now and who
will play to refloat an empty vessel you

[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
May it please the court a case of.
Christmas I wish to make a protest
before this fast is proceeded with I
have something to say Wow there now this
is a court of law
conduct yourself accordingly is it
really necessary to deal with all these
people in one ah for the purpose of
reading the charge or worship no well
then very well
the charge is that you pervert Finch.
Roderick Fyshwick Spencer Potter James
are kept.
Hubert suet and Edgar Rigby on Thursday
the 19th did knowingly commit a
precipice on the lands known as Old.
Harbor meadow the property of one Joseph.
Bainbridge do you each and respectively
plead guilty or not guilty to this
charge may I be permitted to speak now
certainly Lord so far so good pray
heavenly spit it out how long you think
we've got with a lot of rock and iron
aha you better go and start a moving.
Robert go down to the ship opening
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
Now after you say take all of three
hours but even our justices can't spin
out in case of tres purrs for three
hours Robert rather put your trust in
the bed of the mouse I feel better if
they begin to turn up get these photos
on court how much love is going on the
justices has to consider they beat out
an hour already
how much longer like be kept here like a
confit the bench is given considerable
time to this case since it would appear
to be without present at least as far as
the record of his court in July of the.
Year 1700 and 23 a writing officer of.
His Majesty's custom was hanged
he never following a conviction for the
theft of a sheep unfortunately we have
no other record of the trespass by
government officials be that as it may
however the laws relating to private
property are sufficiently well known in
this country there can be no excuse for
disregarding them am I going too fast
you not at all your honor
and that's our charger
[Music]
You had enough I reckon I can have
another drop for the liberty Brotherhood
Robert is a very life conceptually the
man on the other hand there may be
extenuating circumstances as indeed the
defendants pleaded to it necessity there
are quirements of an official
investigation in the case of three of
the defendants under the pursuit of duty
in the case of the other three but it
will be remembered and it is actually
similarly it was offered by the
defendants at Nuremberg and what
happened to them what do we have to
decide in and it is the opinion of the
bench that trespass was indeed committed
brackets there what we have to decide is
whether the defendants presumed on their
rights as officials whether since those
certain authority should set an example
well they it does not behold them to be
doubly circumspect doubly circumspect
where did I get how many circumstan why
don't you pay attention I must request
and amis the Gerard important evidence
has come to light
what's that we've already heard the
evidence there is a ship in the harbour
nonsense
however tied up hundreds of years ago
don't you collect any more now there may
be circumstances we're all positive.
Matson example trouble is caps coming on
won't let the others off the equal to
tell they said get really people what we
need is another
or no time
so the bench has decided to take the
most lenient possible you in the
circumstances to it that you are all
guilty of a lamentable breach of good
manners no more than that you're the
whore discharged but hold it hold it but
to avoid the possibility of the issue of
another summons the bench is prepared to
issue you all certificates about revoir
our key under the offenses against the
persons Act of 1861 and look only make
out six certificates of out of our our
key while that is being done the court
would like to take the opportunity of
complimenting constable Pettigrew how
long must we wait for these these
certificates goodness tears
you got this
all right give me one hey what are you
doing here I've got all about you I've
come to do my bit
not on your life you'll happen oh don't
be silly I can drink with the best not
here you probably can top it.
Oh maestro go and sit you better take
your chance
[Music]
All right we want to say that one for
captain Biddle yeah ravishing
captain Biddle has got wider interests
ashore to attend to
our manners would approach a tome or a
win or more to win our right the other
ages is it for 49 where technically I
have another game I must have been a
hopeful sight you look wonderful tonight

disgraceful where's this place Totten I
were supposed to be making wrong that
must be the church way over there in the
trees oughtn't we to consult the County.
Agricultural exec first after all we are
butting in on their job aren't where
unfortunately Fisher wick these masked
people refuse to recognize any authority
they claim to have some ridiculous.
Charter from some old King granting of.
Independence I believe that's correct
brother any other third to be precise of
course it has no legal meaning these
days the ministry is the supreme
authority here as everything else
nevertheless they persist with an
idiotic Charter they call the
corporation of the liberty of and editor.
March I think it might be tactful to
approach them in the first instance
trying to our fan depends on no sense of
humor as the basis for local page and
possibly but it interferes of the
property Kannamma negra cultural develop
of the country has occurred to you Finch
that in spite of the deplorable state of
their agriculture there are a number of
very prosperous looking residences in
these parts really could've battled all
the smuggling days no doubts precisely
it's very romantic
what are we contact first the chairman
of the corporation of the Liberty good

of a lot of work and money and
generations of fellows that's nothing to
laugh at

face with me
everybody thinks that Oh let's... we the
king gave us our charter let us off a
few taxes allowed us to appoint our own
justices and so forth and that's why
it's called the Liberty and now these
white old Johnny's are going to tell us
how to family tell them you know there's
little point in my giving you an
interview young woman if you don't

in our ages
oh very true if I were only a few years
younger
well what about young Sam ever odd too
sentimental

unhealthily discriminating my dear oh I
hate missing about I won't get married

interview
yeah well what ball you want to know
well what's your plan of campaign if I
catch one of these mini Street beggars
this side of belly got I'll run him in.

reporter one of those people go around
snooping huh that's a very rude way of
describing it
I don't like blue long noses especially
girls do I understand that you are
refusing to cooperate no no no not in
the least my idea of hell well of course
I can't answer for the others they are
an independent lot they they might
appeal to the corporation for instance
the corporation as you call it as an
exec stepped on is no longer recognized
by the stayed there forcibly but the
question is do the people recognize it
to which I can only answer they do
indeed for many of them the comes to the
corporation is the government that is
quite aside the point well then please
you said but you don't want to get
running for trespass to your Christmas
really I don't you understand the
functions were magistrates we are
members of a government sub Commission
and we still have the right to elect our
own magistrates mr. Finch that's one of
the few privileges remaining to the
council death and the power to seize
wrecks on the
beaches oh well we also have a charter
day with their little work on the land.
Colonel Gill what do all the able-bodied
men do with that time Oh
as always worth to do on the farm you

morning good day captain bit old food
diary was do it I love this fish pee in
the house I think a couple of days how
long she drink about a week you it
hasn't smelled anything for years did
you do it all on the way back from the
marshes we did and it was a waste of
time fishing has to be taken seriously
all the features don't participate
everything in order Robert sighs I have
we detect a certain uneasiness in your
manner how about some coffee trade bring
two cups of coffee we were followed to
the Abbey by a girl
what sort of girl young girl quite a
pretty girl she represents a newspaper I
believe a lily-white I've been what I
told her which way the wind blew nothing
to worry about you the marsh girl it was
understood that if either of us ever got
mixed up with a lily-white in the
mineral business then we'd pack up and
go home we gave a solemn promise and him
very well once a considerable time ago
we was married to a lily watch me tell
me so far as we are aware and we still
own what happened she left us for the
quartermaster of the Buffs Nvidia
inferior fella what were you thinking
what did you do about it personally we
rejoiced any idea what happened to the
lady
we heard she settled down somewhere in
the south with a herd of cows and the
quartermaster sergeant what's the model
of all this CV we look back on the
business with great surprise at
ourselves if everything was a man's own
fault
that was we talked ourself into it we
told ourselves that we loved her and we
believed it
we endowed her with beauty of body and
soul greater than she or any other
living white could ever possess there's
men doing it all the time Robert
talking themselves up the aisle what
does the Lillywhite have to do nothing
nothing at all just sit tight and let
the fool talk well then when he's done
it then he spends the rest of his life
blaming her for not being what he told
us she was it's pitiful to watch Robert
pitiful that's the moral Robert I wish
padow wouldn't go wandering off on his
own he said something about a chat with
a coast guard for boys both he's fond of.
Coast Guard I wish I didn't find him
quite so chilly Oh a wheel from the.
Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries oh
please come inside gentlemen make
yourselves comfortable gentlemen drop of
bandy beer I should say whoever heard of
brandy in these days thank you thank you
no mr. Witt did my Minister is not
satisfied that the farmers in this area
are making the best use of their land
what's it got to do with your Minister
you're not contesting the government's
interest in feeding the people I presume
very good thing the people are starving
poor devil now assuming you set aside a
certain number of acres for grazing is
there any reason why the rest of it
shouldn't be turned over and soon with
the example potatoes never touch him oh
why starchy

fraction oh here's the flotsam mm-hmm

course the smugglers bye Joe look at

Norman come along fish away this is not
an archaeological rembo sure
I'm Tony Sherman used to tie their
thoats to the churchyard wall in the old
days that was before the sea went back

farm that we're going to visit must lie
at the bottom of the original harbor and
the sewage probably been officially move

Paulie this party religious past we are
the object of considerable amusement no

good asking you how you got in here the
question is how in Thunder you're ever
going to get out hello bill am I glad to
see you
the Colonel's right there what are we
going to do we have a matter under
consideration it will not be difficult
it's a question of building slipway a
watch slip way across the fields to the
seawall in with a system of pulleys
block Kentucky baby mr. Bainbridge is
the owner of our present Anchorage we
will go to some trouble to remove this -
tomato see waiting short you'll find
that he will yes you will find any will
seedling
why have you got on Bainbridge Christmas.
Mitch our fault not his surely Christmas
is once we had a wife by the name of.
Polly she left us for a certain
quartermaster sergeant good heavens you
don't mean a pudding redo room Great.
Scott these things are in the stands
you'll find that mr.
Umbridge will be pleased to build us a
flip when he as a Percy will which I
doubt who's going to pay for it no
matter of thumbs we propose to every
course to bottom ring why when this
finds itself in a foreign port without
the means to proceed elsewhere the
master is permitted to borrow money
ashore from any party on security of the
ship and its contents the maritime
contract known as bottom ray and who do
you suppose is going to advance money on
a land bound Rick we were thinking of.
Colonel Gil you were well and where's
the security in the hold you mean you
didn't dump the stuff overboard
certainly not we always deliver our.
Coggins will now leave you to talk over
the details we ourselves will visit mr.
Bainbridge seebik you are without
question the biggest scoundrel I've ever
met in my life
I've gotta get rid of that cargo at once
can't beat that Robert every nosy party
in the county will be hanging around
this Rick know she bothers get I'd
forgotten the sub Commission where
they've been buzzing around like horse
flies they must be kept away at all
costs

which is the parlor sedan about the
removal last ship we would like to get
it refloated without delay you'd better
sit down let's talk it over and we see
it is the matter of constructing a
slipway the job should present very few
difficulties to an animation socialism
you mean I'm expected yourself to hit
the Bulge we understand one another we
will yeah yeah we take it that you
haven't yet discussed the matter with a
lady of those do I after pitch a shotgun
to you once we knew a fella like you
look like young talks like you a kid
pretty much the same he was a soldier
forms a kind of quartermaster sergeant
he took a fancy to a certain lily-white
known to it but a lot of himself to this
firm finally he got what he wanted in
the lily-white listen left deeply
devoted husband who are you to tell your
truth we weren't quite so mortified as
some folks thought we should all to abhi

it must be a painful experience to the
crew you known but we don't want to hurt

[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
May it please the court a case of.
Christmas I wish to make a protest
before this fast is proceeded with I
have something to say Wow there now this
is a court of law
conduct yourself accordingly is it
really necessary to deal with all these
people in one ah for the purpose of
reading the charge or worship no well
then very well
the charge is that you pervert Finch.
Roderick Fyshwick Spencer Potter James
are kept.
Hubert suet and Edgar Rigby on Thursday
the 19th did knowingly commit a
precipice on the lands known as Old.
Harbor meadow the property of one Joseph.
Bainbridge do you each and respectively
plead guilty or not guilty to this
charge may I be permitted to speak now
certainly Lord so far so good pray
heavenly spit it out how long you think
we've got with a lot of rock and iron
aha you better go and start a moving.
Robert go down to the ship opening
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
Now after you say take all of three
hours but even our justices can't spin
out in case of tres purrs for three
hours Robert rather put your trust in
the bed of the mouse I feel better if
they begin to turn up get these photos
on court how much love is going on the
justices has to consider they beat out
an hour already
how much longer like be kept here like a
confit the bench is given considerable
time to this case since it would appear
to be without present at least as far as
the record of his court in July of the.
Year 1700 and 23 a writing officer of.
His Majesty's custom was hanged
he never following a conviction for the
theft of a sheep unfortunately we have
no other record of the trespass by
government officials be that as it may
however the laws relating to private
property are sufficiently well known in
this country there can be no excuse for
disregarding them am I going too fast
you not at all your honor
and that's our charger
[Music]
You had enough I reckon I can have
another drop for the liberty Brotherhood
Robert is a very life conceptually the
man on the other hand there may be
extenuating circumstances as indeed the
defendants pleaded to it necessity there
are quirements of an official
investigation in the case of three of
the defendants under the pursuit of duty
in the case of the other three but it
will be remembered and it is actually
similarly it was offered by the
defendants at Nuremberg and what
happened to them what do we have to
decide in and it is the opinion of the
bench that trespass was indeed committed
brackets there what we have to decide is
whether the defendants presumed on their
rights as officials whether since those
certain authority should set an example
well they it does not behold them to be
doubly circumspect doubly circumspect
where did I get how many circumstan why
don't you pay attention I must request
and amis the Gerard important evidence
has come to light
what's that we've already heard the
evidence there is a ship in the harbour
nonsense
however tied up hundreds of years ago
don't you collect any more now there may
be circumstances we're all positive.
Matson example trouble is caps coming on
won't let the others off the equal to
tell they said get really people what we
need is another
or no time
so the bench has decided to take the
most lenient possible you in the
circumstances to it that you are all
guilty of a lamentable breach of good
manners no more than that you're the
whore discharged but hold it hold it but
to avoid the possibility of the issue of
another summons the bench is prepared to
issue you all certificates about revoir
our key under the offenses against the
persons Act of 1861 and look only make
out six certificates of out of our our
key while that is being done the court
would like to take the opportunity of
complimenting constable Pettigrew how
long must we wait for these these
certificates goodness tears
you got this
all right give me one hey what are you
doing here I've got all about you I've
come to do my bit
not on your life you'll happen oh don't
be silly I can drink with the best not
here you probably can top it.
Oh maestro go and sit you better take
your chance
[Music]
All right we want to say that one for
captain Biddle yeah ravishing
captain Biddle has got wider interests
ashore to attend to
our manners would approach a tome or a
win or more to win our right the other
ages is it for 49 where technically I
have another game I must have been a
hopeful sight you look wonderful tonight
thank you
get rid of this box
oh brother - a butcher's that I've been
fishing with all the liberty an idea
