“Been pretty slow today,” said Dick. “Not much business. I think the market’s falling off.” Someone had told him that, thought Caroline, delighted with her perception.

“We should have a big rush soon. I’m doing a report now. Well, not really a report; I’ve been getting some statistics on aircraft stock ready for the front office. It’s been some job.” He shook his head to show the largeness of the job.
“I’ve got a report like that to do, too,” said Caroline.
“Something for Golden?”
“Yes.”
Dick nodded knowingly. “Some report, I bet.”
“It’s certainly long,” said Caroline, pointing to the notebook on her desk.
Robert Holton got off the railing and stretched. “I better get to work,” he said. “Murphy might be back soon.” He went back to his desk.
“He’s real eager,” said Dick unpleasantly.
