Examples
“Besides, there are a great many of these accusers, and they have been accusing me now for a great many years; and what is more, they approached you at the most impressionable age, when some of you were children or adolescents; and they literally won their case by default, because there was no one to defend me.”
“‘A healthy adolescent might be expected to produce five hundred billion blood cells a day.’”
