Waterman shouted, "I object, Your Honor. I object " Brennan leaped to his feet and cried, "Manison, you can't freeze me out " James Holden shrilled, "I won't! I won't!" Judge Carter eyed them one by one, staring them into silence. Finally he looked at Janet Fisher and said, "May I also presume that you would be happy to resume your association with James Holden?"
"Let's consider James just as we know him now. Who says, 'go ahead, if he has an attack of acute appendicitis?" "In the absence of someone to take the personal responsibility," said James quietly, "the attending doctor would toss his coin to see whether his Oath of Hippocrates was stronger than his fear of legal reprisals. It's been done before. But let's get to the point, Mr. Manison.
"Sit down and stop sputtering," snapped Manison. "What were you doing at six years old, Brennan? Did you have the brains to leave home and protect yourself by cooking up the plausible front of a very interesting character such as the mythical Hermit of Martin's Hill? Were you writing boys' stories for a nationwide magazine of high circulation and accredited quality?
Let's now suppose that in the near future, someone becomes educated by his process and at the age of twelve or so decided to make use of his advanced intelligence in nefarious work?" "All right. Let's suppose." "Then you tell me who is responsible for the person of James Holden?" "He is responsible unto himself." "Not under the existing laws," said Manison.
Manison said, "Your Honor, I have permitted my client to be shown in this questionable light for no other purpose than to bring out the fact that any man can make a mistake in the eyes of other men when in reality he was doing precisely what he thought to be the best thing to do for himself and for the people within his responsibility.
"And," sneered Manison, "I'll guess that one of your later arguments will be that Judge Carter, having accepted this minor as qualified to deliver sworn testimony, has already granted the first premise of your argument." "I say that James Holden has indeed shown his competence already by actually doing it!" "While hiding under a false façade!"
"And your purpose in opening this hearing was to convince this Court that James Holden should be returned by legal procedure to such surroundings?" "It is." "No more questions," said Waterman. He sat down and rubbed his forehead with the palm of his right hand, trying to think. Manison said, "I have one question to ask of Janet Fisher, known formerly as Mrs. Bagley."
"You should wait for that petition until the plaintiff's counsel has closed his case, you know." He looked at Frank Manison. "Any objection?"
Beale got hit when shifting the waggon line, ... and it was rather fine of him. He knew old Dumble was up to his eyes that day, and told the sergeant-major not to tell Dumble what had happened to him, until the battle was over. Did you hear, too, about Manison, one of the new officers? Poor chap! Killed by a bomb dropped in daylight by one of our own aeroplanes as he was going to the O.P.
"Or," added Manison, "was it so that he would know how close to the limit he could go without stepping over the line?" "Your Honor," asked Waterman, "can't we have your indulgence?" "I object! The child is a minor." "I accept the statement!" stormed Waterman. "And I say that we intend to prove that this minor is qualified to act as an adult."
