Thank you, sir.

Now, when will you be able to enter upon your duty?

What are the hours?

Ten till two every day, excepting Sunday, that is.

Then that's most satisfactory for me.

I'm a poor brother, you see, so most of my own business is done in the evening.

I can manage the shop while you're away, Mr. Wilkins.

Oh, splendid.

As you know, the pay is four pounds a week.

And the duties are purely nominal.

Purely nominal?

What does that mean?

Well, you have to remain in this office, or at least in the building, throughout the whole four hours every day.

If you leave, you'll forfeit your position forever.

I shouldn't think of doing so.

No excuse will avail.

Sickness, business, nor anything else.

Here you must stay.

And work?
