LAURA. I wish to see him the moment he comes. And if he should call up or send word...

ANDREWS. I will see that he is informed, Miss Hegan.

ANDREWS. [Hesitates.] There has been a rumor, Miss Hegan.

LAURA. And so there will be considerable disturbance of the market?

ANDREWS. Presumably.

LAURA. And my father has made preparations?

ANDREWS. Yes.

LAURA. That is what the conference was about?
