For twenty long minutes after we had taken our places again I sat and ruminated upon my own foolishness. Merridew had noted the damage to my person with only mild satisfaction, his own state of discomfort having been aggravated by the length of the wait. Wiggins noted the stiff way I sat and held my arm and identified the cause with a celerity which would have pleased his preceptor. He accepted my reassurances with a patent air of disbelief and scooted his chair nearer mine, crossing his arms and glaring at the prosecutor. But at last, the jury filed in.
