"All? Oh, surely not. Now, as an instance, let us go down the Strand."
His Lordship (interrupting). "No, no, no, I believe the correct quotation is, 'Let's all go down the Strand.'" (Loud laughter.)
Counsel. "I have never heard the quotation, my lord."
His Lordship (pleasantly). "What! I should have thought that everybody had heard that, the difficulty is not to hear it. I have even heard it set to music." (Loud laughter.)
"Now, Mr. Bore," continued Counsel, when order had once more been restored. "Has it never struck you that some of the statues of London might, for example, sometimes come to life?"
"Never. I cannot imagine anything less like life, than any of the statues of London."
"Surely the one in Court to-day is a good specimen?"
"If it is a specimen it ought to be in its proper place—in a case."
Counsel (gently). "It is in a case."
"And I object to it being in this case."
