if you don’t have a lawyer, you should either admit defeat or get a puny lawyer from the streets. But if you want, I can get you one from a middle–class firm. Madam Caroline was already sure that victory was hers. She brought up this Idea in the first place because she knew Jeslyn has no lawyer and secondly, her lawyers are one of the best in the Country, so no matter the lawyer Jeslyn brings,
