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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The question stated is close, and at first blush seems to come within the rules and principle stated in a recent case of Lazarov v. Klyce, Tenn.Sup., 255 S.W.(2d) 11 , except that the instrument involved in that case was negotiable. “The point to be determined here is whether the instrument is ambiguous so as to let in parol evidence.... “In view of the two items mentioned, we think it can be fairly said that the instrument sued upon is ambiguous upon its face as to whether Sharp and Scott bound themselves personally to pay this bill. That being true, under all the authorities parol evidence was admissible to explain the actual agreement.” 195 Tenn. at 278-79, 259 S.W.2d at 522-23 .”
