-machine to pare those finger-nails. You have got
to go up for four months!"

In conclusion we return to the jury-box of a New York Court for the
story of a well-known character who frequently was called to act along
with other good men and true. As soon as they had retired to deliberate
on the evidence they had heard, he would button up his coat and "turn
in" on a bench, exclaiming, "Gentlemen, I'm for bringing in a verdict
for the plaintiff (or the defendant, as he had settled in his mind), and
all Creation can't move me. Therefore as soon as you have all agreed
with me, wake me up and we'll go in."

L'ENVOI

"THE TASK IS ENDED, AND ASIDE WE FLING
THE MUSTY BOOKS TIED UP WITH LEGAL STRING;
AND SO GOOD NIGHT, SINCE WE OUR SAY HAVE SAID,
SHUT UP THE VOLUME AND PROCEED TO BED;
AND DREAM, DEAR READER, OF A FUTURE, WHEN
A LAWYER MAY SHAKE HANDS WITH YOU AGAIN."

WILLOCK: _Legal Facetiae_.
