It was autumn in venice when victor first heard of prosper and bo. the canals, gleaming in the sun, dappled the ancient brickwork with gold. but the wind was blowing ice-cold air from the sea, reminding the venetians that winter was approaching. even the air in the alleyways tasted of snow, and only the wings of the carved angels and dragons high up on the rooftops felt any real warmth from the pale sun.
for the time being, the city still stood firmly on its wooden legs. victor leaned against his window and looked out through the dusty glass. surely no other place on earth was more proud of its beauty than venice, and as he watched its spires and domes, each caught the sun as if trying to outshine one another. whistling a tune, victor turned away from the window and walked over to his large mirror. just the weather for trying out my new disguise, he thought, as the sun warmed the back of his sturdy neck. he had bought this new treasure only the previous day—an enormous mustache, so dark and bushy that it would have made any self-respecting walrus extremely jealous. he stuck it carefully under his nose and stood on his toes to make himself taller. he turned to the left and to the right and became so engrossed in his reflection that he only heard the footsteps on the stairs when they stopped outside his door.
clients. blast! why are they bothering me now of all times?

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
