We shall say a word, before we close, of the charge that he surrendered himself too completely to his client; but to a great degree the explanation and the excuse at once lie in this dramatic imagination, which was of the essence of his genius and influence, and through which he lived the life, shared the views, and identified himself with a great actor's realization, in the part of his client.
He knows the step of a dun from that of a client, when it reaches the very bottom of the staircase; can tell the trip of a pretty wench from the step of a bencher, when at the upper end of the court; and is, take him all in all But I see your lordship is anxious May I press another cup of my kind grandmother's cordial, or will you allow me to show you my wardrobe, and act as your valet or groom of the chamber?"
I remember that he asked me if I had ever been in Montgomery, as though to be sure I had no acquaintances there. I carried back a verbal answer which was stipulated in the letter. The answer was 'No, and in what way Mr. Fitch passed it on to his client I never knew." "You didn't tell me those things when we found the letter, Daniel," said Mrs. Owen reproachfully.
You must be drunk! He has taken it into his head to play the lawyer, prince, and he practices speechifying, and is always repeating his eloquent pleadings to his children. And who do you think was his last client?

If he had been a stranger, I should have said that he took a liberty; but as things stand, we ought to regard it as a compliment. The incident is quite in accord with the customs of chivalry.
This letter seems to inform one Alexander Gibbs that I have retained you to recover for us the last will and testament of his aunt, Mrs. Dorothea Gibbs. I have no such client, and I know no one in what's the address? Ellenville, Sullivan County." Blaine smiled. "Of course you don't, Mr. Hamilton.
"I have recently had to oblige a client," he added by way of explanation to Eustace, "and my balance is rather low." "No," said James; "I quite understand. I was going to say 'are to be presented to my clerk." And with this solemn farce, the conference came to an end.
