He seemed to be expecting his visitor to stand at attention in front of him. Chalmers got the pipe out of his pocket, sat down in the desk-side chair, and snapped his lighter. "Good morning, Doctor Whitburn," he said very pleasantly. Whitburn's scowl deepened. "I hope I don't have to tell you why I wanted to see you," he began. "I have an idea." Chalmers puffed until the pipe was drawing satisfactorily. "It might help you get started if you did, though." "I don't suppose, at that, that you realize the full effect of your performance, yesterday morning, in Modern History Four," Whitburn replied. "I don't suppose you know, for instance, that I had to intervene at the last moment and suppress an editorial in the _Black and Green_, derisively critical of you and your teaching methods, and, by implication, of the administration of this college.
