126 Where's Busman?

Downstairs in the office. He's working out some calculations.

I've called him. We must have a conference.

Thank God, Madame Helena can still play. [ enters, carrying the ledgers.]

Look out, Bus, look out for the wires.

What's that you're carrying?

[Going to table]: The ledgers, my boy! I'd like to wind up the accounts before—before—well, this time I shan't wait till the new year to strike a balance. What's up? [Goes to the window.] Absolutely quiet.
