"Punished as a felony."
"If an officer omits certain specific words when reciting the Riot Act, the announcement is null and void. What are those words?"
"God save the King."
Upon hearing this, the examiner's stern face finally couldn't help but show a hint of a smile: "Alan Pinkerton, it's not 'God save the King' now, but 'God save the Queen.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, a light laughter echoed in the classroom.
But Pinkerton did not show any embarrassment at being corrected; instead, he stood straight without changing his demeanor: "Yes, Sir! The current declaration should be— God save the Queen!"
Hearing this, the examiner nodded. He did not pursue further questions, nor did he leave any marks on paper, but he looked at him with appreciation and said to the examiner beside him: "This kid sure is gutsier than his dad Tom."
The examiner next to him chuckled and relaxed back into his chair: "If Tom heard you say this, he'd probably curse right here."
