Synopsis
Excerpt from Pleasantries of English Courts and Lawyers
Many are the times that Fortune has wrenched the Seal from a firm grasp and dropped it into a feeble hand; many a time has she led a knave to the Marble Chair, and cast a smile of derision on men too honest to woo her with falsehood anon she has turned her back on the entire crowd of eager aspirants, and with beautiful malice in her eyes has thrown the prize into the lap of a simpleton who had never expected to touch it, had never even asked for it.
