Success Is Good For The Character.

I Found Criminal Clients Easy And Matrimonial Clients Hard. Matrimonial Clients Hate Each Other So Much And Use Their Children To Hurt Each Other In Beastly Ways. Murderers Have Usually Killed The One Person In The World That Was Bugging Them And They're Usually Quite Peaceful And Agreeable.

The Officers Of The Branch Of The Force (the Obscene Publications Squad) Have A Discouraging Club Tie, On Which A Book Is Depicted Being Cut In Half By A Larger Pair Of Scissors.

I Had Inherited What My Father Called The Art Of The Advocate, Or The Irritating Habit Of Looking For The Flaw In Any Argument.

I'd Been Told Of All The Things You're Meant To Feel When Your Father Dies. Sudden Freedom, Growing Up, The End Of Dependence, The Step Into The Sunlight When No One Is Taller Than You And You're In No One's Shadow. I Know What I Felt. Lonely.

I Don't Believe In Children's Books. I Think After You've Read Kidnapped, Treasure Island, And Huckleberry Finn, You're Ready For Anything.
