“That’s so. Mebbe I wouldn’t succeed in the city myself, though I’m doin’ a tidy business in Wyncombe. I’d like to see Chester. Can you tell me where he lives?”
“No, I haven’t his address.”
“I wonder he hasn’t gone back home. Mebbe he hasn’t got the money.”
“I presume you are correct in your conjecture.”
“His mother hasn’t said anything to me about Chester bein’ out of work. I’m surprised at that.”
“Perhaps he did not like to tell her.”
“Very like, very like! I’m really sorry to hear Chester ain’t done no better.”
“He isn’t quite up to our mark, but I dare say he will do very well in the country or in some small business.”
“Are you doin’ a large business? You don’t seem to have much stock here.”
“My dear sir, we can’t get brownstone houses and country villas into an office like this.”
