She had not expected Sam to return so instantaneously.
"Do I know ! Why, I was reading my Widgery on Nisi Prius Evidence when you came in." "Oh, were you?" said Billie, interested. "Do you always read on the floor?" "I told you I dropped my pen," said Sam coldly. "And of course you couldn't read without that! Well, as a matter of fact, this has nothing to do with Nisi what you said." "I have not specialised exclusively on Nisi Prius Evidence.
He only knew that lawyers told people to be very careful, so he told Mr. Bennett to be very careful. "What do you mean, be very careful?" said Mr. Bennett. "I'm dashed if I know," said Sam frankly. The question struck him as a mean attack. He wondered how Widgery would have met it. Probably by smiling quietly and polishing his spectacles. Sam had no spectacles.
