And Treason.
What a wonderfully-descriptive word, is “Treason”. It sounds just like what it means. It is a word that can be elegantly spat out. You could imagine Richard Burton pronouncing it in his typical dead-pan way:
“Treason.”
‘Tis an old-fashioned word, it summons up images of the Admiralty and simpler times, when thoughts of Treason usually accompanied a Hanging Party for All Hands on Deck. Of Cat-o’-Nine-Tails and a jolly good flogging ‘round the fleet, in the finest of Admiralty traditions. Of black gunpowder and cutlasses and flintlocks and rum and Traitors dancing a merry jig from the yard-arm...
Of piping up Spirits, a double-ration for the hanging party when their work is done.
Ah yes, “Treason.”
Yes, he should be charged with “Treason”. And punished as a “Traitor”. Gitmo orange would suit him admirably, and he should be grateful that this is now the twenty-first century not the eighteenth, when they knew how to correctly punish Traitors with merry dispatch.
