Miss Burke. The agent for the landlord says he’s got to see you immediately.
Rodney. (Motioning her to be quiet) I’ll be right out. (To Martin, very nervously) You see, father, we’re thinking of taking larger offices. Come, Peale. We’ll be right back, father.
Peale. Yes, father, we’ll be right back. (They hurriedly exit)
Martin. (Stands there watching them proudly. Miss Grayson enters door lower R.) Hello, Miss Grayson, it’s mighty good to see you again—I——
Mary. Oh, Mr. Martin, I’m so glad Rodney finally sent for you.
Martin. (Surprised) Sent for me? (Goes in front of desk)

Martin. Oh, yes, he just went out for a minute to see the agent of the landlord——
Mary. Oh, then he told you about that? (Goes to him)
Martin. (Puzzled) Yes, he told me—why not?
