I have an abundance of the first and very little of the last. In fact, sir, I have been but very recently admitted to the bar, and have not yet been favored with a single case; I am as yet a briefless lawyer." "Not briefless if you take my brief; for the judge speaks in the highest terms of your talents; and I know that a young barrister always bestows great care upon his first case," said Mr.
"I think it is." He laughed lightly. "Not a bit of it. It can easily be overcome. My name's Traill. I'm a barrister briefless the type of barrister that populates the Temple and all those places. One of these days I may come into my own; I may be conducting the leading cases at the criminal bar; I may be but it's not even one of my castles in the air." She smiled at his inconsequence.
But a short time since he was hungry and briefless in some garret of the Inn; lived by stealthy literature; hoped, and waited, and sickened, and no clients came; exhausted his own means and his friends' kindness; had to remonstrate humbly with duns, and to implore the patience of poor creditors.
If the King notified his pleasure that a briefless lawyer should be made a judge, or that a libertine baronet should be made a peer, the gravest counsellors, after a little murmuring, submitted. Interest, therefore, drew a constant press of suitors to the gates of the palace; and those gates always stood wide.
Then he related his interview with Colby, to the amusement of his nieces, all three of whom approved the course he had taken and were already prepared to vouch for the briefless barrister's ability, on the grounds that eccentricity meant talent.

As to entertaining all this cohue of aborigines, Caroline might spare her trouble and her money, as far as the girl is concerned."

Lord Chelmsford, too, who years before had given me my silk gown, was on the Bench on this last day, and I shall never forget the compliment he paid me on my speech. It was of itself worth all the trouble and anxiety I had undergone. Beyond all this, and more gratifying even still, my speech was liked by the Bar, from the most eminent to the briefless.

I learned to look forward to their coming with interest, and to see them depart with regret; yet, for the most part, they were of the ordinary class of colonial adventurers, bankrupt tradesmen, unlucky farmers, forlorn mechanics, hordes of unskilled labourers, now and then a briefless barrister, or a sporting collegian who had lost his all on the Derby.
"From Matlock Bath. What's the matter with you all?" demanded the Poet. "You all of you look " "Sit down," said the Briefless one to the Poet. "Let's talk this matter over quietly." Alexander the Poet, mystified, sat down. "You say you travelled up to London yesterday with Miss Bulstrode. You are sure it was Miss Bulstrode?" "Sure!" retorted the Poet.
