Margaret: Me?

Gwen: John often tells me about you, and your office.

Margaret: Oh!

Gwen: It’s a kind of a literary agency, isn’t it?

Margaret: That’s the sort of thing.

Gwen: It must have been awfully adventurous—starting on your own.

Margaret: I had a good training as a secretary. Then an election came and I had a girl to help me, and I found I could boss her. So I got three girls and bossed them—made them work for me, instead of me working for somebody else. Now I’ve got ten in the office—and several young men.

Gwen: It must be splendid to have built up something like that for yourself.

Margaret: It’s very interesting. The girls are interesting, too; they bring all their troubles to me.

Gwen: What sort of troubles?
