Choate, by a fine line of argument between tweedle-dum REMINISCENCES OF RUFUS CHOATE. 325 and tweedle-dee, and a discourse on " the fixation of points" so deep and fine as to lose itself in obscurity, shov/ed the jury there was a heaven-wide difference be- tween them. " But, " said Mr. Webster, and his great eyes opened wide and black, as he stared at the big twin wheels before him, " Gentlemen of the jury, there they are — look at 'em " ; and as he i^ronounced this answer, in tones of vast vol...ume, the distorted wheels seemed to shrink back again into their original similarity, and the long argument on the " fixation of points " died a natural death. It was an example of the ascendency of mere character over mere intellectuality ; but so much greater, nevertheless, the intellectuality. He has not, then, any of those remarkably rare and bold traits of character, conspicuous enough singly, to account for his forensic supremacy. When not actually in a fight, he is quiet, facile, accommodating, and bland.
