Cramer marches towards the door but hesitates, with some hilarious facial expressions as he goes from resolute, to thinking that Wolfe is just mocking him, to being unsure but deciding not to take the chance.

* In ''Disguise for Murder'', Wolfe commandeers Archie's typewriter to write a note to the killer ... much to Archie's frustration, since Wolfe pecks out each individual letter at a glacial pace. Archie is seen drumming his fingers against the table in a 'typing' formation and a stoic expression on his face as if it's all he can do to stop himself yelling "For God's sake, just let ''me'' do it." The time and technology might be seventy years behind, but anyone who's had to sit and watch a less computer-savvy friend, family member or acquaintance agonisingly try to complete a task that they'd be able to do within a minute will be able to relate to Archie's weary frustration perfectly.
