"A delightful read"

Vokes v. Arthur Murray, Inc was presented to our class by a student as a "delightful read". It was indeed.

Worry not, the court found for the widow. So sit back and enjoy the language brought to you by Judge Pierce.

"Plaintiff Mrs. Audrey E. Vokes, a widow of 51 years and without family, had a yen to be "an accomplished dancer" with the hopes of finding "new interest in life". So, on February 10, 1961, a dubious fate, with the assist of a motivated acquaintance, procured her to attend a "dance party" at Davenport's "School of Dancing" where she whiled away the pleasant hours, sometimes in a private room, absorbing his accomplished sales technique, during which her grace and poise  were elaborated upon and her rosy future as "an excellent dancer" was painted for her in vivid and glowing colors."

Some more colorful language:
"Thus she embarked upon an almost endless pursuit of the terpsichorean art"
"she was influenced unwittingly by a constant and continuous barrage of flattery, false praise, excessive compliments, and panegyric encomiums"
"She was incessantly subjected to over-reaching blandishment and cajolery. She was assured she had "grace and poise""
