I know what you mean--I know what you mean--I believe I understand the firm's interest in my department. I ought, after forty years studying it. I've studied the firm's interest for forty years, Mr. Gerald. I'm not likely to forget them now. (GERALD: Of course.) But I think it's a mistake--I think it's a mistake, and I'm bound to say it, to let a great deal of trouble rise for a very small cause. The clerks might have had what they reasonably asked her. (GERALD: Well, it's too late now.) I suppose it is--I suppose it is. I hope you'll remember, sir, that I've put the interest of the firm before everything--before every consideration.
