"Don't agree; you're putting your foot in a trap!" Weill told him

"Of course, I agree, as long as the examination is conducted by a
properly qualified psychiatrist."
"How about Doctor Hauserman at Northern State Mental Hospital?"
Whitburn asked quickly. "Would you agree to an examination by him?"
"Excellent!" Fitch exclaimed. "One of the best men in the field. I'd
accept his opinion unreservedly."

available?"
"I think he would," Dacre said, glancing at his watch. "I wonder if he
could be reached now." He got to his feet. "Telephone in your outer
office, Doctor Whitburn? Fine. If you gentlemen will excuse me...."
It was a good fifteen minutes before he returned, smiling.

quite willing to examine Doctor Chalmers--with the latter's consent,
of course."
"He'll have it. In writing, if he wishes."
"Yes, I assured him on that point.
