Well I agree with what Leon has posted, that sounds about right.

I'm too out of it and too dense to figure out who was upset with Wonka, but they'd have gotten better results with a kind request instead of a threat. I can't imagine an attorney would take that case for a percentage of the damages awarded, an attorney would would a retainer (big bucks) up front. So there would be no law suit, maybe a letter at most. Lawyers write letters for an affordable fee.

My recollection of antiquated maligning comments back here in Kentucky is a litany of horrible stuff to be done to a fellow, followed by the phrase "and the horse they rode in on." I can see how the origins of that sentiment, and the origins of a Texan's protectiveness of family, could have the same origins!
