“During the third consultation, Dr. Kline talked about the research of Dr. Hans Asperger from a clinic in Vienna, which was not well-known yet but intriguing.

“Something’s off with Bobby,” Edmondson said.
Benson didn’t think that Edmondson was referring to Fischer’s legendary eccentricities. Edmondson had once mentioned with a laugh that Bobby was afraid of Soviet agents tracking him, but this probably wasn’t it either.

I just need to know where I stand and what to expect. After all, I can’t send Bobby for an examination.”
