“There we are,” Mason said.

“Well, we have to do something,” Drake said. “We can’t sit back and take this lying down.”

“Of course we’re going to do something,” Mason flared. “I’m just trying to get things organized in my own mind. We’ve got to find out something about this case that the prosecution doesn’t know. We’ve got to find it out fast and then we’ve got to prove what actually did happen.”

“What actually did happen,” Drake said, “is that your client killed Hepner. She got jealous because he started two-timing her and she shot him. Why the hell can’t she be normal? Why can’t she get on the witness stand, cross her legs, show the jury a lot of cheesecake and tell about that night when Douglas taunted her with the fact that he had betrayed her virtue and wasn’t going to do anything about it, how she thought she could scare him into marrying her if she took the gun from her purse, intending just to frighten him, and then he taunted her some more and all of a sudden everything went black. And then the next thing she remembers is his body inert and silent in death. And so she lost her mind and went tearing around in the moonlight, putting on the dance of the seven veils.”
