But all these perils may be boldly faced by those
who have no difficulty in changing their line of
pleading. Those however who cannot get away
from what they have written, are reduced to silence
by such emergencies or else led into making false
statements, as for instance if an advocate should say,
“He stretches out suppliant hands to embrace your
knees,” or “The unhappy man is locked in the
embrace of his children,” or “See he recalls me to
the point,” although the person in question is doing
none of these things.
