"I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOUR TROUBLE," Bertha Cool said to Donald Lam. "You were disbarred for violating professional ethics."
"I wasn't disbarred," Donald answered, "and I didn't violate professional ethics. I just talked too much."
"About what?"
"I offered to bet a man it would be impossible to commit a murder so there was nothing anyone could do about it. That night he was arrested. Among other things, he told the police I had agreed to tell him how he could commit a murder and get off scot-free."
"What happened?" Bertha asked.
"The Grievance Committee went after me hammer and tongs. They revoked my license for a year. They took the position that a man couldn't commit deliberate murder and go unpunished."
"And do you know how he could do it, Donald?"
"Yes."
