Mummy – What else would you make illegal if you had the power to do so?
Philomena- If I were Queen, I would make stealing–robbery–illegal.
Mummy- Stealing is already illegal. Tell me, what would you do if you caught a robber?
Philomena- I would have the police make the robber return everything he stole. And then put him in jail.
Mummy- For how long?
Philomena- Until he said he was sorry and promised never to do it again. Mummy- And what if he broke his promise and after he was free began steeling again? Philomena- I would put him in jail until he said he was really sorry and promised not to do it again. He would have to return everything though. Mummy- And what if he broke his promise again after that? Philomena- I would put him in jail again until he swore to God and crossed his heart never to do it again. Mummy – And if he broke that promise again? Philomena – I would have my servants tie up his legs and his arms and put him up against a wall. Then I would have them shoot arrows at him until he was completely dead.
