I must say, I thought they'd have fixed themselves up with something a bit better.

I soon found it wasn't going to be done by Monday, either.
By the time I went to see Mr. Pinner again, I'd only got to the letter H. Oh, dear.
He told me to go away, keep at it until Wednesday, and then come and see him again.
Well, I did, but the job still wasn't finished even then.
Mr. Pinner told me not to worry, but to push on with it still and see him again on Friday.
So I did.
It took me till this morning, though.
I'd never have believed there were half as many hardware tickets in Paris.
Well, there you get some idea at last of the size of trade you're going to be handling soon.
Yes, I do.
Well, uh, the best thing is to ask you if you wouldn't mind keeping Atom until everything's clear at the other end.
But I finished.
Now, now, now, my boy, you just think for a moment.
Doesn't anyone else sell crockery besides hardware, sir?
Well, I suppose...
Yes, the furniture people do over here, so I expect the same in France.
Ah, that's just the brand of acumen for getting to the top.
Thank you.
