"I'm not putting a man on a witness stand so a judge can feel better about the rest of us."
"It's the case," Amory said.
"It's the easy case. They throw one man to the lions and the lions go home."
"That man is me."
"That man is the one who didn't read," I said.
"I want the one who learned to."

"Not through a lawyer."
"Not in that vest, either," the widow said.
"Wear the gray jacket. It's honest."

"I'll tell it," he said.
"Under oath, in my own voice, if they'll let me."
"They'll let you," the widow said, and handed him a dish.
