You had to be polite, very careful. Anyhow, we got through it. It was a long, long morning. I was dismissed. Mr. Sumners' secretary said to me as we went out, “The Judge would like you to wait a minute. He'd like to speak to you afterwards.” A few minutes later they broke up and he came out. That was when he said to me that I had done all right, that he had been surprised that I could do so well, that I could think so quickly without any reference to any documents or papers. It came out in the questioning period that without any help from my Solicitor I'd been able to answer their questions. I didn't like to tell him, of course, that this was my adrenal glands working overtime, that when in terror and under great pressure, I'm told by the physiologists, our adrenal glands are stimulated. Our minds then operate at a more complete click than they do at any other time. I didn't like to tell him that, that I didn't always do as well as that in my own Department when there was no pressure on. At any rate, it was all right and it pleased him. He was happy because it was a great risk he'd taken in handling this thing through the Judiciary Committee.
