JUDGE

Well, it’s not exactly a proper proceeding for a Judge of the Circuit Court.

JANE

I knew you’d do it.

JUDGE

Yes, and I think you knew why, didn’t you?

JANE

Ever since she’s died, you’ve helped me about everything. Before she died you were just as good to me, and nobody else was.

JUDGE

I am glad you said that, because it clears me from the charge of being what poor Ben calls “one of the crow buzzards,” and I don’t want you to think me that.
