All leaned forward to watch him as he followed the usher to the witness-box, wholly unaffected in manner and not seeking to make any capital out of his popularity. Indeed, he seemed rather to be uneasy, almost nervous, as one of the oldest pressmen present remarked audibly. He took the oath, and the President of the Court addressed him in friendly tones.

One of the first questions I was asked was how I should be disposed to explain the wave of crime in New York.
Remember me to all your people, and give my love to Muriel." "Nothing doing, eh?" Williams observed, rising reluctantly to his feet. "You have perception," Tallente replied.
