何必再辯?
oliver cromwell, lord protector of england, was one day engaged in a warm argument with a lady. she maintained that eloquence could only be acquired by those who made it their study in early youth, while cromwell declared that there was no eloquence but that which sprang from the heart.
some days later, the lady's husband was arrested and conducted to the tower of london as a traitor to the government. the agonised wife flew to the lord protector, threw herself at his feet, and with great eloquence pleaded for her husband's life and innocence. after a while cromwell's stern countenance relaxed into a smile. extending to her an immediate liberation of her husband, he said,"i think all who have a witnessed this scene, will vote on my side of the question, in the dispute between us the other day."
