Well the stream behind our shack was running strong and clear and the poplars along its banks poured down their green light so we sank our cases and sat down to a good three hours of quaffing and smoking and low-brow chit-chat.

Alternately furrowing his brow, gazing down at the linoleum floor, or staring sidelong out through a window, Edelin usually paused before answering questions and displayed a calm bemusement when his attorney, the court typist, or the judge stumbled on his scientific terms. He usually called the fetus and placenta "the products of conception...
