"Opportunities...."
"We covered that before."
"But have we? Consider, Sir; you are wealthy, powerful, in spite of your, ah, handicap." He glanced away as Johnson inspected his hand. "Just think what might have happened had you not been injured? Who can say what new avenues might be opened to you?"
"How much?"
"Then you'll do it?" asked Cavendish, eagerly.
"Perhaps. How much do you need?"
"I have my equipment all ready. But I need a great deal of power to operate it. You are one of the directors of Public Power; I need your signature on releases for the necessary leads and, of course, the power itself."
"You shall have them. When can we be ready to operate?"
Cavendish pursed his lips. "With PP technicians running in the new lines—three days."
"Very well. I'll be back."
