"In the first place, the work has been unsatisfactory. The men have done as well as could be expected of them, but they have been in such a constant state of rebellion because of your attitude that the work was bound to suffer."
"You are very frank, sir."
"That's my way of doing business. You not only have neglected the work but you have openly defied me and my orders."
"That's exactly what these young cubs have done with me," interposed the manager quickly.
"My information is quite to the contrary. However, be that as it may, I have decided to make a change."
"Make a change?"
"Yes."
"I do not understand."
"Then I will make it more plain. I'm through with you."
