passage: Mr. Andrews pointed to one of the oak chairs .
  " You sit there , " he commanded , " it 's reserved for members of the bar , but it 's all right .
  You 're with ME . " Distinctly annoyed , slightly bewildered , the banker sank between the arms of a chair .
  He felt he had lost his individuality .
  Andrews had become his sponsor .
  Because of Andrews he was tolerated .
  Because Andrews had a pull he was permitted to sit as an equal among police - court lawyers .
  No longer was he Arnold Thorndike .
  He was merely the man " with Mr. Andrews . " Then even Andrews abandoned him .
  " The judge'll be here in a minute , now , " said the assistant district attorney , and went inside a railed enclosure in front of the judge 's bench .
  There he greeted another assistant district attorney whose years were those of even greater indiscretion than the years of Mr. Andrews .
  Seated on the rail , with their hands in their pockets and their backs turned to Mr. Thorndike , they laughed and talked together .
  The subject of their discourse was one Mike Donlin , as he appeared in vaudeville .
  To Mr. Thorndike it was evident that young Andrews had entirely forgotten him .
  He arose , and touched his sleeve .
  With infinite sarcasm Mr. Thorndike began : " My engagements are not pressing , but— " A court attendant beat with his palm upon the rail .
  " Sit down ! " whispered Andrews .
  " The judge is coming . " Mr. Thorndike sat down .
  The court attendant droned loudly words Mr. Thorndike could not distinguish .
  There was a rustle of silk , and from a door behind him the judge stalked past .
