She said, “He’s due here any minute. He got a telegram. His son’s on the way here. He’s waiting for him to come in.”
“From where?”
“Los Angeles.”
“How’s he coming?”
“He’s driving. There’s been some business emergency and Philip’s bringing his father’s right-hand man with him, someone who’s been in business with him for years.”
“Does Philip know what his father’s doing here?”
“I don’t think so, but I think the father’s going to take him into his confidence.”
“You mean he’s going to let him know about us and what we’re here for?”
“I think he is. Donald, isn’t he the nicest man?”
“Uh huh.”
