ruinae! You have heard the sentence. What is the penalty? Is it
death?"
And a voice in the crowd cried "Death!" And the others took it up;
there was a roar: "Death! Death!"
Said the Grand Imperial Kleagle: "Arma virumque cano, tou
poluphlesboiou thalasses!" Then, facing the staring ex-servicemen:
"Tetlathi mater erne kai anaskeo ko-omeneper!"
Finally the Grand Imperial Kleagle pointed her shrouded white arm at
Carpenter, who stood, as pale as death, but unflinchingly. "Death to
all traitors!" she cried. "Death to all agitators! Death to all
enemies of the Ku Klux Klan! Condemnatus! Incomparabilis!
Ingenientis exequatur! Let the Loyal High Inexorable Guardians and
the Grand Holy Seneschals of the Klan advance!"
