"The Expositor's Bible: The Gospel of St. John, Vol. I"
Marcus Dods
In common with many persons of warm feelings, but narrow education, Mr. Fishwick was ready to believe on the smallest evidence-or on no evidence at all-that the rich and powerful were leagued against his client; that justice, if he were not very sharp, would be denied him; that the heavy purse had a knack of outweighing the righteous cause, even in England and in the eighteenth century.
"The Castle Inn"
Stanley John Weyman
But outweighing everything else was the fact that he loved her.

Silas K(itto) Hocking
