"Any of those chairs," Hauserman said, gesturing toward them. They were all arranged to face the desk. He sat down, lighting his pipe. ANY OF THOSE CHAIRS HELLSERMAN SAID GESTURING TOWARD THEM THEY WERE ALL ARRANGED TO FACE THE DESK HE SAT DOWN LIGHTING HIS PIPE
t, Professor. And try--please try, for the sake of your poor harried lawyer--to keep your mouth shut about things like that, at least till after you get through with Hauserman. And when you're talking to him, don't, don't, for heaven's sake, _don't_, volunteer anything!" * * * * * The room was a pleasant, warmly-colored, place. There was a desk, much like the ones in the classrooms, and six or seven wicker armchairs. A lot of apparatus had been pushed back along the walls; the dust-covers were gay cretonne. There was a couch, with more apparatus, similarly covered, beside it. Hauserman was seated at the desk when Chalmers entered. He rose, and they shook hands. A man of about his own age, smooth-faced, partially bald. Chalmers tried to guess something of the man's nature from his face, but could read nothing. A face well trained to keep its owner's secrets. "Something to smoke, Professor," he began, offering his cigarette case. "My pipe, if you don't mind." He got it out and filled it.
