“Yes, if I can get an appointment by wire. I am going to see about it now.”

“I do hope he will be sensible enough to put it on right away.”

“Considering?” he insisted.

“Oh, our difference in point of view, and, oh, everything!” she added.

“It would disappoint you if it were our last work together?”

“What an idea, Jarvis! I look forward to years and years of annual success by the Jocelyns.”

He frowned uncomfortably, as if to speak, thought better of it, and kept silence.
