Mr Deeds, have you anything to say
in defence of these articles?
1:29:03
Mr Deeds?
1:29:12
- Mark these Exhibit "A" for the plaintiff.
- Yes, Your Honour.
1:29:18
Proceed.
1:29:25
They're rather timid, Your Honour,
and wish to be together.
1:29:27
I'll only have one testify.
1:29:30
- Get on with it.
- What is your name, please?
1:29:32
- Jane Faulkner. This is my sister Amy.
- Yes. Amy.
1:29:35
I'll direct my questions to you,
Miss Jane. You may answer for both.
1:29:39
Do you know the defendant?
1:29:43
Yes. Of course we know him.
1:29:50
How long have you known him?
1:29:52
- Since he was born.
- Yes. Elsie Taggart was the midwife.
1:30:00
- He was a seven-months baby.
- Thank you. That's fine.
1:30:04
Do you see him very often?
1:30:08
- Most every day.
- Sometimes twice.
1:30:14
- Must we have the echo?
- Suppose you just answer, Miss Jane.
1:30:16
Will you tell the court what everybody
at home thinks of Longfellow Deeds?
1:30:20
- They think he's pixilated.
- Yes. Pixilated.
1:30:32
- He's what?
- What was that you said he was?
1:30:36
- Pixilated.
- That's rather a strange word to us.
1:30:38
- Can you tell us what it means?
- Perhaps I can explain.
1:30:43
" Pixilated" is
an early-American expression
1:30:46
from the word " pixies",
meaning "elves".
1:30:48
They'd say, "The pixies had got him",
as we'd nowadays say a man is " barmy".
1:30:51
Is that correct?
1:30:57
Why does everyone think he's pixilated?
Does he do peculiar things?
