Okay, NOW I can talk about it

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I'm glad you had each other, and were able to get through the anxiety together. That is a frightening case. Probably more exciting to be on that jury than on most others. I never want to do jury duty. It's not a question of duty, but an awareness of my own lack of conviction, the fact that I’m sometimes easily persuaded and that I’m moody, and my moods affect my decision making abilities. I really shouldn’t be allowed on a jury.
