"I don't see why you should apologize to Miss Madden, my dear.
Madden, a little later, "you've won, but I'm damned if I know how it happened. I never went into court with a shakier case." "I shouldn't wonder," said Joyce, "but it might have been the ducks that did it. I sent him six, your honour, six, and as fat as any duck ever you seen." "Good Lord!" said Mr. Madden.
