The tension's at breaking-point already. This 'ud snap it. Can't you see that?" "I was thinking of the legal aspect of the case," says Lundie. "With a good jury we'd likely be acquitted." "Acquitted!" says Walen. "Who'd dare acquit us in the face of what 'ud be demanded by the other party? Did you ever hear of the War of Jenkins' ear? 'Ever hear of Mason and Slidel?

Now her really fine nature rose to the emergency, though she mustered her forces with a great effort.
You see, she defended her son to the last, adopting his own specious line of argument; but at the last came the breaking-point.... The rest of our interview was of no great matter. I did my best to reassure and comfort her; and when I next saw Marigold, I said affably: "You did quite well to wake me." "I thought I was acting rightly, sir. Mr.
I won't be humiliated more than I am; public pity is hard enough to bear. I've about reached the breaking-point." "Indeed?" Austin leaned forward, his eyes inflamed.
