Short story first published in The New Yorker, Nov. 14, 1942.

Mr. Martin, a man of exemplary habits, planned to murder Mrs. Barrows, the special adviser to the president of his firm. The woman had disrupted the system; caused people to be fired, and generally gotten the place into a state of confusion. His carefully laid plan to murder her didn't work out, but by visiting her apartment and behaving himself in an "unseemly" manner, as she reported to the president, he managed to get her out of the firm and possibly into an insane asylum.
