Langworth blushed a little: "I can't lie, so I must admit that the latter is more true. Sir, I must say, I previously misunderstood you."
Arthur was noncommittal and merely said, "If you mean the editorial 'Gunshots Under the Tower of London,' I actually think you wrote it quite well. Especially the last sentence: the man once hailed as Britain's finest officer is ultimately just a shooter using the public as his target."
Langworth's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected Arthur to remember that sentence word for word: "I was young and impetuous, and my judgment might have been a bit biased on some details... but thinking back now, there were casualties during that riot, yet... I didn't understand the pressure you were under at the time."
