And though Mr. Nathan may have had more psychological training above Cayuga's waters than did Horace above the Fountain of Bandusia, he knows little more of men. A liar is nearly always a liar. But he is only more obviously a liar when drunk. And when Mr. Nathan disputes the axiom of his elder he is missing this point.
