Such a
division will give the impression of three short statements rather than of one long one. At times it will be
well to interrupt our narrative by interjecting some
brief remark like the following: “You have heard
what happened before: now learn what follows.” The
judge will be refreshed by the fact that we have
brought our previous remarks to a close and will
prepare himself for what may be regarded as a fresh
start.
