The magistrate was a kindhearted man and seemed uncomfortable. He looked from the unemotional Mr. Parr who stood on the witness-stand, to the girl in the steel pen, and she was almost as cool and as self-controlled as the police witness. Her face was one which would have attracted attention in any circumstances, but in the drab setting of the police court, her beauty was emphasised and enhanced.
The magistrate glanced down at the charge-sheet before him. Her age was described as twenty-one, her occupation as secretary.
