Sherman's tale seemed calculated to please almost everybody: it gave O'Dwyer's critics a chance to fire a few more shots; it gave O'Dwyer's friends a chance to cry that he was a dove who had attacked at least one of the blackbirds who had insisted on flying formation on him, and gave the committee a chance to check off a bit of unfinished business. Sherman, in the role of cast-off friend, seemed pleased, too.
