The firm had numerous clients, and the junior partner soon became a successful practitioner, uniting to a thorough knowledge of the law a vigorous understanding and an untiring industry which gained for him an enviable reputation. Among other cases on the docket of Culver, Parker, and Arthur, was one known as the Lemon slave-case.
How much better it would be, if the practitioner does not see fit to call in a competent consultant, to prescribe a suitable agent to be given internally, and to recommend complete rest for the subject.
As she sat cogitating thus, a group of young men formed themselves a little in front of her: looking up, she saw Vivian Standish, who was amusing the rest, with some droll quotation. Little did she realize what she was contemplating in this deceptive face, what a perfect practitioner he was in the art of seeming and appearing, commanding his outside as he did, with an ease that did him credit!
Its result, however, was, as she guessed, to render her a hopeless paralytic for life. At length the patient sank into the coma of exhaustion, and Dr. Williamson was able to leave her in the care of a brother practitioner whom he had sent for, and in that of his assistant. Sir John had been sent for, but had not arrived.
You see I'm willing to admit all you can say against a rival practitioner." "Oh, I understand," said Annie. "But I'm not going to gratify your spite." At the same time she tacitly consented to the slight for Mr. Peck which their joking about him involved. In such cases we excuse our disloyalty as merely temporary, and intend to turn serious again and make full amends for it.
The waiters began to twitter, and Welsh, with an effort, pulled himself together. “My friend here,” he said, “is Dr Twiddel, a well-known practitioner in London. He can tell you that he certified this man as a lunatic, and that he afterwards escaped from his asylum. That is so, Twiddel?” “Yes,” assented Twiddel, whose colour was beginning to come back a little.
But there was still scant leisure for the quest of beauty, and slender material reward for any practitioner of the fine arts. Oratory alone, among the arts of expression, commanded popular interest and applause. Daniel Webster's audiences at Plymouth in 1820 and at Bunker Hill in 1825 were not inferior to similar audiences of today in intelligence and in responsiveness. Perhaps they were superior.
Myrtle was greatly distressed about him. She worried lest he might lose his mind. "Why don't you go to see a practitioner, Eugene?" she begged of him one day. "You will get help really you will. You think you won't, but you will. There is something about them I don't know what. They are spiritually at rest. You will feel better. Do go." "Oh, why do you bother me, Myrtle? Please don't.
That's what I want to know." The old practitioner chuckled at this ingenuous imputation of the law's plasticity; his eyes twinkled in anticipation of the laugh he would raise in chambers when he got a chance to spring that joke on his dignified confreres.
He should neither give nor provoke insult. Nowhere more than at the Bar is that advice valuable: "Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Bear it that the opposed may beware of thee." There is one more caution to be given under this head. Let him shun most carefully the reputation of a sharp practitioner.
