1:33:09
Mark these Exhibit "A"
for the plaintiff.
1:33:11
Yes, Your Honor.
1:33:15
Proceed.
1:33:17
They're rather timid, Your Honor,
and wish to be together.
1:33:21
If the court pleases,
I'll only have one testify.
1:33:23
- Yes. Get on with it.
- What is your name, please?
1:33:26
- Jane Faulkner. This is my sister Amy.
- Yes. Amy.
1:33:30
I'll direct my questions
to you, Miss Jane.
1:33:33
You may answer for both.
Do you know the defendant?
1:33:42
Yes. Of course we know him.
1:33:44
How long have you known him?
1:33:53
- Since he was born.
- Yes. Elsie Taggart was the midwife.
1:33:56
- He was a seven-months baby.
- Thank you. That's fine.
1:34:00
Do you see him very often?
1:34:07
- Most every day.
- Sometimes twice.
1:34:09
- Must we have the echo?
- Suppose you just answer, Miss Jane.
1:34:13
Will you tell the court what everybody
at home thinks of Longfellow Deeds?
1:34:25
- They think he's pixilated.
- Yes. Pixilated.
1:34:29
- He's what?
- What was that you said he was?
1:34:32
- Pixilated.
- That's rather a strange word to us.
1:34:36
- Can you tell the court what it means?
- Perhaps l can explain, Your Honor.
1:34:40
The word "pixilated"
is an early-American expression...
1:34:42
derived from the word "pixies,"
meaning "elves."
1:34:45
They'd say, "The pixies had got him,"
as we'd nowadays say a man is "balmy."
1:34:50
Is that correct?
1:34:55
Why does everyone think he's pixilated?
Does he do peculiar things?
1:34:59
He walks in the rain without his hat
and talks to himself.
