He was very popular with the people, and was the judge's dearest friend. Then there was Colonel Cecil Burleigh Essex, another F.F.V. of formidable caliber however, with him we have no concern.
Harry was thinking of Solomon, to whom she was to be married within ten days, and hung her head. "Come, did he fall in love with you, then? There was ample apology for it, I am sure, and he ought to have been ashamed of himself if he hadn't. Now, did he 'court' you? I think you must know what that means." No answer. Every eye was upon her, the judge's double glasses included.
I knew then, by the smile of the Judge's mouth and the way he put on his tortoise-shell glasses, that "Laddie" would never be sent away. Just then, though, the master, after he had looked at the dog a minute, sprang up suddenly and stood staring at me with his mouth twitching. "What is it, sir?" I asked. "The dog!" he said. "Yes, sir," I said. "The dog "

"Guilty" was the verdict returned by the jury against Bryan Dillon and John Lynch.
"In those dusty clothes and with your sandals off! A nice condition for the shopkeepers to see a Judge's children in!" "Oh, hang a Judge's children," muttered Pauline, but not until Anna had returned to the house. "Wish daddy was a butcher," said Muffie.
"But the papers say you can't get near the door." "Father's given me a card to the judge he knows him. Come on Vivie's waiting at the corner." In such heady excitement the three girls raced to the criminal court building and were smuggled by a fat bailiff through the judge's private chambers into the crowded scene.
"Miss Ballard, you are called upon to identify the prisoner in the box. Can you do so?" asked the lawyer again, patiently. Again she turned her clear eyes on the judge's face, "Yes, I can."
