Upon arriving at the university that day， I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall， he only smiled when we reached a classroom door I told him to enter alone look around.

He stepped in， remained no more than thirty seconds then came out. “Tell me what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room， leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the least hesitation without a single error， he gave the number of seats in the room， pointed out those which were taken by boys those occupied by girls， named the colors each student was wearing， pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard， spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor， pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.
