Jury-Law books

Therefore, after that single
almost awed exclamation from the professor--his sole homage to Mrs.
Grundy--he added:
"My dear, do as you like. You are old enough and wise enough to choose
for yourself--your aunt's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. Only,
if you don't mind----"
"What is it, daddy-prof?" she asked him with a smile, yet still
reflective.
"Why, if you don't mind," repeated the professor, "I'd rather you didn't
inform me where you decide to spend your summer until I am off. I--I
don't mind knowing after I am at sea--and your aunt cannot get at me."
She laughed at him gaily. "You take it for granted that I am going to
Cape Cod," she cried accusingly.
"No--o. But I know how sorely I should be tempted myself, realizing your
aunt's trying disposition."
"Perhaps this--this half-uncle may be quite as trying."
"Impossible!" was the father's rather emphatic reply.
"What?" she cried. "Traitor to the family fame?"
"You do not know Cape Cod folk. I do," he told her rather seriously.
