Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The reasonable rule would seem to be that when the wife is involved in a suit against her husband for divorce, either as plaintiff or defendant, she should be allowed alimony and suit money out of the husband’s estate or earnings, so as to place her upon an equality with him in the litigation until thé same is finally determined; and.these allowances may be extended to the pendency of the cause on appeal or error, whenever it is made to appear to'the appellate court that the review is prosecuted in good faith, and that error has probably been committed to her prejudice. ’ ’”
