I believe it’s a sort of legal rule-a sort of legal tradition-for all investigating lawyers to begin their attack from afar, with a trivial, or least and irrelevant subject, so as to encourage or, rather, to divert the man they are cross examining, to disarm his caution and then all at once to give him an unexpected knock-down blow with some fatal question. Isn’t that so. It’s a sacred tradition, mentioned, I fancy, in all manuals of art.
