I have proposed some requests for your charge to the jury which I will hand up." And the judge said: "Counsel may address the jury." During a slight pause which now ensued Larry Kildene tore a bit of blank paper from a letter and wrote upon it: "Richard Kildene is in this room and will come forward when called upon." This he folded and sent by a boy to Nathan Goodbody.
"Richard Kildene!" rang out the triumphant voice of Nathan Goodbody, and Richard stepped into the witness box and was sworn. The natural eloquence with which he had been endowed was increased tenfold by his intense earnestness as he stood, turning now to the Judge and now to the jury, and told his story.
Bumpkin, kind-hearted Miss Goodbody, do you fancy that you can escape? Then we ought to try to fix it in our mind, that, in all matters into which taste enters at all, the most honest and the most able men may hopelessly, diametrically, differ: original idiosyncrasy has so much to say here; and training has also so much.
Elvira Goodbody, a charming girl, admiring and devoted to her husband, is notwithstanding a trifle en tete, especially when her domestic arrangements happen to be the theme of discussion. Adolphus, his courage screwed to the sticking-point, broaches the difficult subject; and for the first half of the act my aim was to picture the progress of the human quarrel, not as it should be, but as it is.
Had he gone to his aunt's he would have been sure to have met Lord Goodbody there, and the whole conversation would have been about the feeding of the poor, and the necessity for model lodging-houses. Each class would have preached the importance of those virtues, for whose exercise there was no necessity in their own lives.
For you are my friend now, as no one else. But for you, I am on earth forever alone." After Mr. Ballard's visit to the jail, he took upon himself to do what he could for the young man, out of sympathy and friendship toward both parties, and in the cause of simple justice. He consulted the only available counsel left him in Leauvite, a young lawyer named Nathan Goodbody, whom he knew but slightly.
With the first petulance Milton Hibbard had shown during the trial he now turned to the prisoner's counsel and said: "Take the witness." "No cross-examination?" asked Nathan Goodbody, with a smile. "No." Then Betty flung one look back at the Elder, and fled to her mother and hid her flushed face on Mary Ballard's bosom.
It is no discredit to Nathan Goodbody that he lacked the skill and cunning of an astute cross-examiner. Unlike poets, they are made, not born, and he found the Swede to be a difficult witness to handle to his purpose. He succeeded in doing little more than to get him to reaffirm the damaging testimony he had already given.
He sat drumming with his fingers on his desk for a while, and then rose and turned to his books. "I'll have a little law on this case, some point upon which we can go to the Supreme Court," and for the rest of that day and long into the night Nathan Goodbody consulted with his library.
Adolphus Goodbody, a worthy young man deeply attached to his wife, feels nevertheless that the dinners she is inflicting upon him are threatening with permanent damage his digestive system. He determines, come what may, to insist upon a change.
