I can only remember one instance where someone I knew made a decision that might have cost him a lot, but was the right thing to do at the time, something that seems to be peculiar to the individual, but alien to most other regards, maybe not all! There are some fine bodies out there, though few and far between. Where expediency creeps in virtue creeps out! But I suspect most of us would be found wanting in some sense and there are some choices you wouldn't want to make. Presented with an impossible choice, what would you do? The cinema has thrown up many examples of the chivalrous deed, or doing the right thing, some funny, some true, some very sad, some refusing the offer, and you could probably make up your own list. Oskar backing the train out is a favourite. But to end on a lighter note, Mattie finding a drunken Marshal whose son didn't like him and whose wife had left him because he couldn't abide by the laws of decency so he took to robbing banks is as good as you'll get. Or maybe that's just the way I remember it. Chivalry yes!
