In the solicitor's big,\u003cbr\u003ehigh, bare room she seemed both small and very dainty. Her voice had\u003cbr\u003etrembled a little, but she made a brave effort at gaiety as she\u003cbr\u003eexplained her cryptic word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"When a thing's running in your head day and night, week after week, and\u003cbr\u003emonth after month, you can't use that great long word you lawyers use.\u003cbr\u003eBesides, it's so horribly impartial.\" She pouted over this undesirable\u003cbr\u003equality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA light broke on Gaynor, and he smiled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Oh, you mean incompatibility?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"That's it, Hobart. But you must see it's far too long, besides being,\u003cbr\u003eas I say, horribly impartial. So I took to calling it by a pet name of\u003cbr\u003emy own. That makes it come over to my side. Do you see?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Not quite.\" He smiled still. He had once been in love with Winnie\u003cbr\u003eMaxon, and though that state of feeling as regards her was long past,\u003cbr\u003eshe still had the power to fascinate and amuse him, even when she was\u003cbr\u003esaying things which he suspected of being unreasonable. Lawyers have\u003cbr\u003ethat suspicion very ready for women.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069766746352,"sku":"2940015884012","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015884012","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
