He no longer got going on any topic; he had become as a little child, as the little child that played about him there in the still, warm summer days and built houses with his law-books on the floor. He laughed feebly at her pranks, and submitted to her rule with pathetic meekness in everything where Marcia had not charged them both to the contrary.
Still, mend our law-books as we will, one is forced to confess that knaves are often seen in fine linen, and honest men in the most shabby old rags; and still, notwithstanding the exceptions, knavery is a very hazardous game, and honesty, on the whole, by far the best policy.
He read law-books but little, except when the cause in hand made it necessary; yet he was unusually self-reliant, depending on his own resources, and rarely consulting his brother lawyers either on the management of his case or the legal questions involved.
I wonder what they'll make of Elsie, between them!" So they talked at the Judge's, in the calm, judicial-looking mansion-house, in the grave, still library, with the troops of wan-hued law-books staring blindly out of their titles at them as they talked, like the ghosts of dead attorneys fixed motionless and speechless, each with a thin, golden film over his unwinking eyes.
He sat there reading in the window of his office on Court Street, Boston, a spick-span new law-office, with four shelves of law-books bound in sheep, a green-covered table in the center, three armchairs, and on the wall a steel engraving of "Washington Crossing the Delaware."
A few copies of these letters were printed for the use of the Abbotsford Club. Professional law-books and reports are not generally esteemed as light reading, yet something may be made even of them at a pinch.

CARVER seated: a table, pens, ink, paper, and law-books. A cleric, pen in hand. On the right-hand side of Mr. CARVER stands Mrs. CATTY ROONEY. RANDAL ROONEY beside her, leaning against a pillar, his arms folded. Behind Mrs. ROONEY, three men one remarkably tall, one remarkably little. On the left-hand of Mr.
They shook their heads, and said they would look up all their law-books, and see whether anything of the sort had ever happened before, and if so, how it had been decided. That is the way judges used to decide cases in that country, though I dare say it sounds to you a very funny way. It looked as if they had not much sense in their own heads, and perhaps that was true.
A man, says one of my old black-letter law-books, may show divers good reasons, as thus: He hath not seen the person named in the indictment; she is of tender age, or the reverse of that; she hath certain personal disqualifications, as, for instance, she is a blackamoor, or hath an ill-favored countenance; or, his capacity of loving being limited, his affections are engrossed by a previous comer; and so of other conditions.
I appealed to Temple, whether he thought it possible to read law-books in a cockboat in a gale of wind. Temple grimaced and his father nodded. Still it struck me that I might one day have the felicity of quiet hours to sit down with Temple and read Law far behind him in the race. And he envied me, in his friendly manner, I knew. My ambition had been blown to tatters. A new day dawned.
