Jokes and pranks broke the monotony as Dockery led a call, Taulbee and Brumm were teased, Long’s shoes vanished, and Wade and Mason kept spirits high with stories. Sleepers in galleries and on benches occupied every available perch while the chamber reeked of a late session and half the room dozed.
