It is a good one. It shall be a better one. Mr. Cherry, in a few years' time we shall not be earning our 15 per cent., no, nor our 30 per cent., but our 100 per cent., and you shall be with us. Here, Mr. Cherry, is an application form. (He has put it all ready.) I will make it a personal matter that the full number of shares shall be allotted to you.
ADAM CHERRY.
(Who has risen, comes to desk. Ben Dixon puts a pen into his hand. He hesitates.) They—they do say one should not put all one's eggs into one basket.
MR. BEN DIXON.
It depends upon the basket I suppose. I should say it would be better to put them all into one sound basket than in half-a-dozen risky ones. (Laughs.)
ADAM CHERRY.
Yes, that's quite right—quite right. You see I do want a big dividend.
MR. BEN DIXON.
Of course you do—we all do—I mean it is very natural for you to do so.
