From The Man from Home by Booth Tarkington

No, sir; I worked on that machine myself for three hours. He's got his hands full of nuts and screws and bolts half fastened. If he lays them down now to come out I don't know how long it'll take to get them back in place. We want to get this job finished. (Continues with a plaintive uplift of voice.) This is serious! Tell them to go on up Main Street with their Knights of Pythias parade, and come around some day when we haven't got our hands full. MARIANO (meekly). I tell them--yes, sir. (Turns and confers with the CARABINIERE.)
