Cresswell was the President, and the future President, Hannen, my junior. We won a great victory through the remarkable over-confidence and indiscretion of Edwin James, Q.C., who opposed us. James's client was the husband of the deceased. By her will the lady had left him the whole of her property, amounting to nearly £100,000.

Some didn't move because they had lost the power to do so. Others just stood. "It's a hoax an' a joke," Anna said.
