Dr. Cordier took a file from the top of her desk and put Billy's chart in the folder. She then took out a piece of paper with some writing on it and put it in her clipboard before settling back in her chair.

"Billy, I'd like to ask you some questions and I expect you to answer me fully and completely. If I feel you are holding back or not telling the truth, I will ask your mother to come back here again. She's already told me a great deal about your situaiton so I'll know if you're lying. Do you understand, child?"

"Yesss, Dr. Cordier," Billy stammered through his tears of shame.

A little knock sounded on the door and Nurse Leveau popped her head in.

"How is evrything going in here, Dr. Cordier? Do you need me for anything?"

"No, Judy. I think we have everything under control. Billy has stopped misbehaving after his mother gave him a firm reminder."

"Yes, I can see that. Mrs. Fontaine says he's an angel after a spanking."

"Most naughty boys are, Polly. Especially boys who are too big for their britches. We're just about to go over his little problem."

"I see. Will you be needing the diaper cart in here today?"

"No, not today, Polly, though it might be necessary when Billy comes back for his next check up in a week."

"Well, I'll leave you alone then. I've got to finish up some paper work and discuss Billy's babysitting needs with Mrs. Fontaine. See you later, Billy dear."

Billy buried his face in the pillow, hiding his tears and wondering when Nurse Rennie would pull his gown down in back so his bottom wasn't exposed. Unfortunately, she had seated herself in a chair against the wall and did not seem concerned in the slightest.
