This refractory criminal must be saved from himself, cost what it might, and responsibility again rested heavy on my client's mind as I rowed him out to the Maria. "Crocker," he said, "if Allen is scooped in spite of us, you have got to go East and make him out an idiot." He seemed to think that I had a talent for this particular defence. I replied that I would do my best.
Bramshaw and Anderson were greatly struck, and owned that their own minds were satisfied as to the truth of their client's assertion; but they demurred as to the possibility of further steps.
Larmer was waxing impatient almost indignant at his client's tone. "So I do, entirely. Assuredly I have no desire to go to prison." "Then for goodness' sake don't talk to anyone else the nonsense you have been talking to me!" "I am not likely. I have known you since we were boys together, and I wanted to relieve my mind.
Troy, quietly listening up to this point now interposed to stop the discussion before it could degenerate into a personal quarrel. His keen observation, aided by his accurate knowledge of his client's character, had plainly revealed to him what was passing in Lady Lydiard's mind. Miss Pink's reception of her dog had additionally irritated the old lady.
But the Celebrity, either from lack of appreciation of my client's loyalty, or because of the nervousness which was beginning to show itself in his demeanor, despite an effort to hide it, returned no answer. He turned on his heel and resumed his seat in the cabin. Mr. Cooke was visibly affected. "I'd sooner lose my whip hand than go back on him now," he declared. Then Vesuvius began to rumble.
He had commenced by looking at the matter with a full confidence in his client's innocence, a confidence which had come from the outer world, from his social convictions, and the knowledge which he had of the confidence of others.
Do you understand them?" "I think I do. I am very much obliged to you. What is the name of your client?" "You must excuse me, young lady I can not divulge my client's name." "But if Philip wanted to know very badly, you would tell him?" "That depends on the reason he gave for requiring the information." "I think it is all right, then," said Fluff, rising to her feet.
Nothing, gentlemen of the jury, could sound more plausible than the arguments advanced by my learned friend on her client's behalf. And yet, if you will give me your favourable attention, I shall convince you that the plaintiff has suffered no wrong at my hands.
Science and religion are not as business is; still, if the public do not wish to be taken in, they must be at some pains to find out whether they are in the hands of one who, while pretending to be a judge, is in reality a paid advocate, with no one's interests at heart except his client's, or in those of one who, however warmly he may plead, will say nothing but what springs from mature and genuine conviction.
That it should be as he wished it was so absolutely consonant with all nature as he had known it, that he had preferred trusting to this result, in his client's behalf, to leaving the case in a jury's hands. At this moment he was sure he was right in his judgment. And indeed he was right; for no jury could have done anything for his client.
