"Mr. Balfour," he said at last, "I tell you pointedly you go an ill way for your own interests." "My lord," I said, "I am as free of the charge of considering my own interests in this matter as your lordship.
The advocate went on: "As a man, as a private person, I will even go further, and say: I would never condemn a single unmarried mother for killing her child."

Still, to my mind, there was a great deal in what she said.
'There was no rudeness to the poor man? 'Dear me, no. But imagine a quiet little advocate, very precise and silky you've had a hint of him and all of a sudden the client he has by the ear swells into a tremendous beast a combination of lion and elephant bellows and shakes the room, stops and stamps before him, discharging an unintelligible flood of racy vernacular punctuated in thunder.
