Southern lawyer judge recalls travel in a remark from a trial
A veteran Southern lawyer, now district judge, recalls defending an old man charged with stealing a ban from a volisserie. The judge notes the man faces him for a final time. An elderly white-haired servant agrees the man will not have a lawyer this time as the judge contemplates the case. An explorer marooned in Canada shares a tale of hard sledding, noting there was no snow to explain his return home.
