"Cross-examining," I explained to Edmund, "is not the art of examining crossly. I was polite to Mr X. I treated him like a friend. I led him gently by the hand up the garden path and dropped him in the compost heap. I'm sorry you missed it."-Mortimer, John. "Rumpole and the Boy" in A Rumpole Christmas (New York: Viking, 2009), 63
