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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Farmer in disposing of the furniture, household goods and personal effects was acting in the course and scope of his employment with Plains National Bank?” The jury answered “He was”. Special Issue No. S reads as follows: “Do you find from a preponderance of the evidence that the act of C. H.
