Write nothing; it will only confuse you, unless you have long practised that method.

When you have systematised your thoughts, and think your written arrangement is complete, ponder it clause by clause with the paper at hand for constant reference.

No matter if your thoughts seem to wander, and the subject appears to grow vague; your mind is dwelling on it, and ideas will fructify in your mind unconsciously as seeds sprout in the dark.

When the hour of trial arrives, arm yourself with the familiar paper, trust to your own courage, and speak out.

You will have thoughts, and nature will find you words." Justice North's summing-up was simply a clever and unscrupulous bit of special pleading.
