Martin. (With a certain sarcasm) Well, if you can spare the time, I’d like a little business talk with you, Rodney.

Rodney. Certainly, in just a minute. (Gets busy with papers. Pushes the buzzer)

Peale. (Entering) Oh, excuse me.

Rodney. That’s all right, come right in. Father, you remember Mr. Peale—Peale, my father——

Peale. Indeed yes, I recall very well——

Martin. (Gruffly cutting him off) How are you?

Peale. (Sitting in chair left) A bit tired—just back from Buffalo where I’ve been conducting a big campaign.

Martin. Then it is to you I should address myself?

Rodney. Either or both of us.
