Look upon her. gentle men, and say whether or not she is such as to attract defendant Look on defen- dant and say whether or not it is possible for the plaintiff to have engaged herself to defendant, and do not be hard on her in your Judgment; for experience shows, no one can tell what sort of man woman will love. Sometimes you think it Is with them all as it was with a cer- tain spinster:

Looking at him the court sees that his eyes are blue, but they do not look as if they could penetrate to that vital or gan; his curly hair twined around her affection. But the defendant said he would have none of her. Now, gentlemen, do you believe all this? If you do, then what does it prove?
