Summary: She would come again tonight; he could feel it in his bones. He wondered if she would cry again as she beseeched him for his assistance, implored him for the life of her son, begged as if it were in his power to give.

Summary: A slightly twisted, but highly realistic, possibly humorous, and very late, look at the Marriage Law Challenge.
