I hope so," he said dryly. "I hope so, too," said the baronet, "yet--I'll tell you frankly, michael kors shoes Stafford, I have a feeling that the ordinary processes of the law are inadequate to trap this organisation. The law has too wide a mesh to deal with the terror michael kors bags which this man exercises. Such men are the only justification of lynch law, the quick, sharp justice which is administered without subtlety and without quibble." Stafford looked at the other and michael kors bags made no attempt to hide his astonishment. "You believe in--the Jack o' Judgment?" he asked. Sir Stanley shot a swift glance at him. "That is the bugbear of the gang, isn't it?" "So Hanson michael kors handbags says," replied the other.
