If ever it seems an opportune time to intone, intone everything and turn it into song. And if ever you are at a loss for matter to intone, say Gentlemen of the jury in the proper tempo and consider the music of your sentence complete. Cry Woe is me!’ frequently; slap your thigh, bawl, clear your throat while you are speaking, and stride about swaying your hips. If they do not cry Hear!’ be indignant and upbraid them; and if they stand up, ready to go out in disgust, command them to sit down: in short, carry the thing with a high hand.
