Can Mary Win Her Case?
Mary sits in front of the man who may argue her case in court. Mr Trevelyan scrutinizers Mary, reviews the facts, and warns her Mr Hastie is gathering witnesses. Does she want the case to go forward? "I can do whatever is required," Mary says. Is the statement for her lawyers or herself? Hard to say. Trevelyan asks if a judge has been assigned. Yes, Judge Norris has the case. Mary's solicitor asks the key question. Is the case winnable? It seems so. Mary has one last chance to back out, but doesn't. It's out of her hands now. Justice will take its course. But at what cost to everyone involved?
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“What do you conclude?” Mr. Carruthers asks his colleagues. “Is this a winnable case?”
“Though we don’t have the most sympathetic judge, the fact that this case is about two members of the mission community should mitigate any of the judge’s social concerns,” Mr. O’Kinealy says.
Mr. Trevelyan turns his attention back to me. “I ask you a final time, Miss Pigot. Do you wish to continue?”
“Yes.” I say firmly. I’ve gone too far to stop.
“Very well. I have my instructions. Mr. Carruthers will be in touch when we have a court date,” Mr. Trevelyan says.
