Though this motion for a new trial is an application to the discretion of the Court, it must be remembered that the discretion to be exercised on such an occasion is not a wild but a sound discretion, and to be confined within those limits within which an honest man, competent to discharge the duties of his office, ought to confine himself. And that discretion will be best exercised by not deviating from the rules laid down by our predecessors; for the practice of the Court forms the law of the Court.
Sherrilyn KenyonI didnโt know theyโd do this to you. (Syd) Itโs okay, Syd. Who could have imagined that a man who heads up a company of paid assassins and mercenaries would be psychotic? (Steele)
Sherrilyn KenyonSoโฆthatโs like your pet monkey?โ โ Nick (The tiny horse snorted flames and whinnied at him.) โEasy, girl. Youโd do well to show her respect. She can understand you, and she doesnโt take well to insults.โ โ Death โSorry, Flicka. Didnโt mean to rattle your bridle.โ โ Nick
Sherrilyn KenyonI defy you to try it, Princess. Go ahead. I donโt even know how to sweep a floor. All I know how to do is use my body to please others. I was sick and alone with no references, friends, family, or money. I was so weak from hunger that even a beggar stole your himation from me while I lay on the ground, wanting to die and unable to stop him from taking it. So donโt come here now with your disdainful eyes and look at me like Iโm beneath you. I donโt need your charity and I donโt need your pity. I know exactly what you see when you look at me. (Acheron)
