Hutchison’s wife, Lucy, later wrote that her husband had been deeply angered by the __(B)__ (outward behaviour or attitude) of Charles during his trial; that the king had shown little sympathy for the men who had died in the war, that the Court found him responsible for and that he refused to even __(C)__ (acknowledge the existence, validity, or legality of) the Court as being legitimate.
