“So, Oliver, you have a case with which to commence your career at the bar?”
“Yes, thanks to Uncle Scott, I have.”
“And will you allow me to ask what it is?”
“Well, to tell you that, I must first know myself. I believe it to be in relation to a contested will, but as to the particulars you are as wise as I.”
“A will case, eh! I have heard old lawyers say they were the best of cases, as far as fee is concerned.”
“To-morrow I am to have an interview with my client. My uncle gave such a glowing description of her that he has quite raised my curiosity.”
“A lady for a client! why that’s better yet. By the bye, Oliver, you seem somewhat indifferent to the divine sex; and yet you have a warm heart.”
