Yes, sir. But there’s a person waiting to see him.
Rixon.
[Coming in.] Oh, never mind.
[Rixon is a short, rubicund man, with white whiskers and a hearty manner.
Mr. Wright.
[Going towards him.] Mr. Rixon. [Rixon looks at him without recognising him.] Don’t you remember me, sir? I’m the junior partner in Andrews and Wright.
Rixon.
Of course I do. I saw your father on business the other day. [To Charles.] Where’s the telephone book?
Charles.
I’ll just go and fetch it, sir. Mr. Halstane lent it to the gentleman upstairs.
