"
Peter knew that Dummer had a very lucrative business of a certain kind,
but he declined the offer.
"I have decided never to take a case which has not right on its side."
"A lawyer is just as much bound to try a case as a physician is bound to
take a patient."
"That is what lawyers say outside, but they know better."
"Well, have your scruples. We'll make the firm cases only such as you
choose. I'll manage the others."
"I should like to," said Peter. "I'm very grateful for the offer--but we
could hardly do that successfully. If the firm was good for anything, we
should be known as belonging to it, and the public could not well
discriminate."
So that chance of success was passed. But every now and then Bohlmann
sent him something to do, and Dummer helped him to a joint case
occasionally.
So, though friends grew steadily in numbers, society saw less and less
of Peter. Those who cared to study his tastes came to recognize that to
force formal entertaining on him was no kindness, and left it to Peter
to drop in when he chose, making him welcome when he came.
