—more particularly as regards the interior of the country. I am informed, however, that a number of inundations manifested themselves in the coastal regions, while at sea there were considerable storms, and—as far as I can judge from the information at my disposal—there will be a number of losses in shipping. In this respect Mr. Vandergold will perhaps incur some liabilities
The Crowd:
What does that matter, as long as we don’t.
First Man from the Crowd:
But here comes Mr. Vandergold himself from his office
The Crowd:
And he always has more accurate news than Mr. Dollarson.
Dollarson:
What else do you want to know? Mr. Vandergold will only confirm to you what you have already been told by me.
Second Man from the Crowd:
But Mr. Vandergold is more wealthy and has a bigger factory
The Crowd:
Good-day, Mr. Vandergold. Our respects to you, sir.
