Author's Notes:  Happy Caffrey-Burke day. This story also fills the ´ archaic medical treatment ´ square on my h/c bingo card.
Remember, this story is set in the 1930s, so wording is not always as we would use it today (e.g. the use of the word inmate to describe a patient, a rubber heel, see the pic, it was used to prevent patients from damaging their teeth), but I tried to be as accurate as possible. 
Thanks to the wonderful Lella1603 for her betawork. But remember, all mistakes and typos are mine, and mine alone. J

Summary: Neal and Peter go undercover in an asylum.

Overbrook Insane Asylum, November 14th 1935

The doctor observes the patient for a while, trying to start a conversation but so far the young man just stares blankly at his hands, which are lying in his lap. The sister is overly concerned, she looks at her brother with affection but also with a certain sadness. This brother and sister are from a very well to do family, their clothes are of the finest quality and a la mode. The doctor is impressed.
