That is ridiculous."
His pious account of the meeting with Diana in his office when
he told her of the document examiners findings, was ingenious.
He claimed to have been devastated at having to do that to an employee.
He had behaved with loving kindness throughout the "very painful interview.
"Of course no one in the department or among the medical students
would be afraid to come and testify. Perish the thought.
"I must have been misunderstood before when the panel got the
impression that ALL the critiques were good in this last year
when Diana did not teach. I thought I had made it clear that
it was Ian's SmurFFs that had improved markedly."
Still, Jane noted. He did not produce them for the panel
to confirm his testimony and the chair, despite the request
of Diana that they be solicited, did not ask for them.
When Henry hesitated, Trenchant reminded Lyle that student's likes
and dislikes of an instructor could vary wildly from year to year.
"Remember how great your SmurFFs were in the nursing course
three years ago?" She said. "Then the very next year, they were the pits.
Isn't that correct?"
Lyle reluctantly agreed that it was and Henry quickly took back
the questioning to bring Lyle to the crowning touch of his testimony
before Trenchant could further discredit him.
