Instantly our judge found himself in the flesh once more, and robing for
his accustomed seat on the bench. His reappearance caused great
surprise, as his evil reputation was now public property and the
authorities had removed his cenotaph from Westminster Abbey and sold it
to a rag-shop.

However, as it is impossible to remove a judge from the bench even if he
murders the Queen, the Royal Family, and the Bench of Bishops, steals
the watches of the whole Houses of Lords and Commons, and even defrauds
the Inland Revenue, Lord Justice Pimblekin was allowed to remain on the
bench; and, as he was a socially influential person, bygones were
allowed to be bygones.

But he was a reformed judge. He did his duty, and gave irredeemable
criminals what they deserved; fraudulent company directors got the cat,
and diseased meat purveyors a lifer, until there was hardly any crime
left. Lord Justice Pimblekin's twin brother and wife recovered, and
forgave him, and his lordship has not been called up for judgment yet.
