“Your Honor,’ an old marquise once asked, from her end of
the table to the other, ‘which do you prefer, a wine from Bordeaux or from
Burgundy?’
‘Madame,’ the magistrate who was thus questioned answered
in a druidic tone, ‘that is a trial in which I so thoroughly enjoy weighing the
evidence that I always put off my verdict until the next week.’

1852
