But in those brevities just before dawn and a little after dark-times neither day nor night-the old roads return to the sky some of its color.

A lawyer has no business with the justice or injustice of the cause which he undertakes, unless his client asks his opinion, and then he is bound to give it honestly. The justice or injustice of the cause is to be decided by the judge.
