SIMON Ross was lucky. Every one in the Temple thought that. At the age when most young barristers, if not briefless, are finding the guineas few and far between, he had in a modest way begun to make his mark.
One of the assisting counsel in a case conducted by French Norcutt, the famous criminal K.C., the small part he had to play had been so well done that the great man had asked for him again. Again he satisfied his leader and more work followed. Solicitors who were not employing silk sent cases to him, and he was generally regarded as a coming man. Despite his growing responsibilities, he never quite lost his boyish sense of humour, and that perhaps was no inconsiderable asset.
