The County Attorney, George Henderson, is young, presumptuous, and professional. None-the-less, he doesn't make a great impression on the ladies. Mrs. Hale is annoyed by his lack of interest in what they have to say. It is Henderson who first uses the word "trifles", dismissing the women's observations and judging Mrs. Wright's housekeeping skills.
