I was going to say something in answer to Glaucon, when

Adeimantus, his brother, interposed: Socrates, he said, you do

brother'-if he fails in any part do you assist him; although I

must confess that Glaucon has already said quite enough to lay me

in the dust, and take from me the power of helping justice.
