“Should we not have a chance to talk again before the trial, I would like to offer a few more bits of advice.  Stick to yes or no answers—don’t volunteer information.  If you feel a point needs to be clarified, we will have a chance later, after the prosecutor has finished.  Try not to get angry; if you do, he’s sure to use it against you.  Watch out for him making a leading statement.  If he does not ask a question, you do not have to answer, no matter how inflammatory his remark may be.” He looked at Dale, who was examining the felt-tip pen again. "You can tell him that he may keep the pen if he desires—I have more. Good evening, Miss Heartstrings."
