Fallacies
Ch. Logical High Flyers
Influence

Mention has been made of a case in which the cloak
may be termed a special one: it is the more special, the more
exactly it fits to the foul spot — to the abuse. [As the looseness
of the cloak has its advantages, so has the close-fittingness: the looser
the greater in number and extent the foul-spots, the abuses, for
which it may be made a cover: but the closer to shape, the less
the suspicion excited by the use of it.]
An instance of this sort of special cloak is afforded
by the thing called corruption — parliamentary corruption —
and the word — the so continually useful word — influence.
How decorous! how graceful! how every way
becoming — the cloak made out of it! which it affords!
