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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon the record as a whole we are persuaded that Mrs. Christian’s dissatisfaction with her contract is the result not of its invalidity in the first instance but of a change of mind on her part after she left the Babers’ home. In setting aside the chancellor’s decree we recognize, of course, that Mrs. Christian is still entitled to make her home with the appellants in accordance with the terms of the agreement.””
