  RESPOND, v.i.  To make answer, or disclose otherwise a consciousness
  of having inspired an interest in what Herbert Spencer calls "external
  coexistences," as Satan "squat like a toad" at the ear of Eve,
  responded to the touch of the angel's spear.  To respond in damages is
  to contribute to the maintenance of the plaintiff's attorney and,
  incidentally, to the gratification of the plaintiff.
