"Christ, Diana really stuck it to Lyle, didn't she?"
The defense huddled too. They went as a group to the nearby cafeteria.
Everyone took the trouble to keep the conversation light and encouraging.
They were convulsed at the reaction of the court stenographer which Diana
related to them.
"She's probably attended a great many hearings," offered Helen.
"What happens in the cloistered halls of Belmont U. would be a bit
foreign to her."
Even though it was practically certain by now that
they would not be needed to testify until the next day,
they all elected to stay. "Hey," Roz insisted, "we want
to be here for you and each other. It's bad enough
that you have to face them alone in that hearing room."
"You guys are the best, you know that?" Diana said, fondly.
"After the hours spent in that room its such a relief to hear
human voices again."
When the hearing resumed, Henry cautioned Diana about taking
too much time and to stick to the issues. We are only here
to listen to information directly concerning whether you forged
those SmurFFs in question. You have wasted too much of our
valuable time talking about non-related issues.
