"Whistle again," he said; and once more I performed like the whistle of a locomotive. "That will do, we shall have it," said the cunning old rainmaker; and proud of having so knowingly obtained "counsel's opinion" on his case, he toddled off to his impatient subjects.
Thou dost encourage me to hold My head above the flood, Thy counsel better is than gold, In need thereof I stood. Good counsel's good at any time, The wise will it receive, Though fools count he commits a crime Who doth good counsel give. I take it kindly at thy hand Thou didst unto me write, My feet upon Mount Zion stand, In that take thou delight.
Boulter, who had the matter in hand, Jobling having died some years before, told him that in his opinion it was rather a nice point; he would like counsel's opinion on it.
We could not help that, however war was put upon us, and go to war we felt we must. Which was all extremely hard upon Mr. Craven.

The counsel who argues the losing side of a case contributes quite as much to the assistance of the court as the successful advocate. The friction of counsel's argument against counsel's argument develops every phase of possible error in a conclusion and thereby enables a just, intelligent, acute and experienced court to see clearly what is the right which should be embodied in its judgment.
They thought as you and I think that sorcery cannot be taken seriously that it is confined to fairy tales and that, as a fairy tale, it is potent only in the nursery."

Her fancy was for rich materials, rather splendid to strike the eye at once. Her son, on the contrary, wished for something simple and elegant.
