B . ▁ 4 6 7 ▁, ▁ 4 8 2 – 4 8 3 ▁where ▁I ▁said ▁that ▁when ▁a ▁person ▁makes ▁a ▁representation ▁int ending ▁that ▁another ▁should ▁act ▁on ▁it : ▁ ▁“ It ▁is ▁no ▁answer ▁for ▁the ▁mak er ▁to ▁say : ▁‘ You ▁would ▁have ▁gone ▁on ▁with ▁the ▁transaction ▁anyway .’ ▁That ▁must ▁be ▁mere ▁spec ulation . ▁No ▁one ▁can ▁be ▁sure ▁what ▁he ▁would , ▁or ▁would ▁not , ▁have ▁done ▁in ▁a ▁hypoth et ical ▁state ▁of ▁affairs ▁which ▁never ▁took ▁place . ▁… ▁Once ▁it ▁is ▁shown ▁that ▁a ▁representation ▁was ▁calculated ▁to ▁influence ▁the ▁judgment ▁of ▁a ▁reasonable ▁man , ▁the ▁pres umption ▁is ▁that ▁he ▁was ▁so ▁influenced .” ▁ ▁So ▁here . ▁These ▁statements ▁to ▁Miss ▁Co oke ▁were ▁calculated ▁to ▁influence ▁her ▁— ▁so ▁as ▁to ▁put ▁her ▁mind ▁at ▁rest ▁— ▁so ▁that ▁she ▁should ▁not ▁worry ▁about ▁being ▁turned ▁out . ▁No ▁one ▁can ▁say ▁what ▁she ▁would ▁have ▁done ▁if ▁Kenneth ▁and ▁Hed ley ▁had ▁not ▁made ▁those ▁statements . ▁It ▁is ▁quite ▁possible ▁that ▁she ▁would ▁have ▁said ▁to ▁herself : ▁ ▁“ I ▁am ▁not ▁married ▁to ▁Kenneth . ▁I ▁am ▁on ▁my ▁own . ▁What ▁will ▁happen ▁to ▁me ▁if ▁anything ▁happens ▁to ▁him ?
