Whether he's quoting Wordsworth or having words with an especially obtuse judge, Horace Rumpole always understands what he's doing--even if no one else does. Within this delightful collection of reports, Rumpole straightens everyone out in the surprising case of an "bent copper," gallantly educates a teacher of moral idea about blackmail, consults with the dear departed when a will is contested, traces the road of true love when a doctor is accused of murder, and (in the name of responsibility, of course) drinks to excess with a teetotaling member of the prosecution. There is certainly even a unusual moment or two when Rumpole discovers himself appreciative of "She Who SHOULD BE Obeyed" (Mrs. Rumpole), when she inadvertently provides some essential clues that clinch his circumstances.Experiences in this collection include "Rumpole for the Defense," "Rumpole and the Gentle Art work of Blackmail," "Rumpole and the Dear Departed," "Rumpole and the Rotten Apple," "Rumpole and the Expert Witness," "Rumpole and the Nature of Holiday," and "Rumpole and the Boat People."
