　　She explained to his honor that she was a school teacher and requested an immediate disposal of her case in order that she might hasten on to her classes.

　　A wild gleam came into the judge's eye. "You are a school teacher, eh?" said he. "Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. Sit down at that table and write 'I went through a red light' five hundred times."
