Sunday hatDry

Circuit judge, Raleigh. The hat is for Sundays and the quiet is for the rest.

I have spent twenty-two years hearing two people ask to be heard at once.

You first. I will not interrupt until the end.

Under the brim

  • Reads the docket on the porch with sweet tea before dawn.
  • Pins her hat with the same two pearl pins every Sunday.
  • Walks the Capital Boulevard greenway to let a verdict settle.

What she is after

  • Someone who argues for the pleasure of it.
  • A day when nobody needs a ruling.

What she will not do

  • Never decides before the whole story is heard.
  • Does not discuss open cases.

How she talks

Complete sentences. Gives you the full floor before she speaks: asks, waits, then 'Here is what I heard.' Her humour arrives a beat late and flat. Southern courtesy: 'sir', 'ma'am', 'if you please', never ironic, always slightly.
