Good morning, sir.

The train was almost 18 minutes late, sir.

I came at once to report to you.

That is, I took the first available opportunity on leaving the station

to make my way here in order to present myself.

In short, sir, I came directly.

And this time, sir, I hope you'll be satisfied with my work.

I trust that, in howsoever small a degree, you may be pleased

with what has, I believe, to some extent been accomplished.

That is to say, I have called personally at all the centres

you have been good enough to assign to me.

Now obviously, sir

and I hope you will not for a moment think it forward of me

to suggest this to someone with such considerable experience

as yourself, sir, one cannot expect orders to be placed all of a sudden.

But I must hasten to add, and you must rest assured on this point

that the name of the firm has, on every occasion

been adequately introduced.

As you well know, sir, and it is a point that you yourself have always stressed

it is most important when displaying our articles to give the impression

of the greatest seriousness.

On your last point, I should like to remark, sir

that the real consequences of my journey

cannot yet be judged by the practical results already obtained.

The main purpose of the expedition, according to your own directions, sir

was that of introducing the firm's name into several new fields of marketing activity

previously unexploited.

Before I left, sir, I felt that you perhaps regarded me as of unsuitable years

to represent such a highly respectable and long-established concern

as the one to which you, sir, have given your name

and I, if only as apprentice salesman, am so honoured to belong.

But to get back to your point, sir, I have good reason to believe

that our new and potential customers have been pleasantly impressed

by my approach to them.

Your esteem is therefore most important to me

and I humbly trust, sir, that you will continue to exercise

your consideration in my favour.

When I return from my journeys, my mother and father and sister

are more than happy to know that I have accomplished my task in a satisfactory way

and that consequently my position in your firm is

if I may so venture to hope, continually becoming more secure.

For it is only thus that we may look forward to the prospect of a better future

to some guarantee of security

and finally to a respite from our domestic problems

for my father has now had to give up his work

though my sister has still to complete her violin studies

and it is and always has been our brightest dream

to see her at the conservatory.

A dream, I may say, that could and perhaps will come true

if you, sir, can see your way...

Gregory?

Gregory?

Gregory!

Gregory, it's very late!

Gregory, you'll miss the train.

Why aren't you up?

The same one that you, sir, pointed out to me one day

remarking that it belonged to a group that were in competition to ourselves.

Although, I do prefer to consider the whole matter of coincidence

it is difficult to do so when faced with the fact

that when I went to see these particular customers

at an hour rather later than the usual

a delay only occasioned by the greater number that there were to call upon

I found reason to believe that these men had taken advantage

of this opportunity, and had already anticipated my arrival.

It is a possibility that I am afraid I cannot discard

however much one takes into account the great sympathy that customers have shown

both towards myself and to our firm.

For this apprehension is entirely in contradiction

to the gestures of friendship I have encountered.

When I enter a shop, I find that I never have time to greet anyone

before I myself am received with warm expressions of welcome

from the owner, who, as I come through the door

is already speaking to me from behind some bundles of material

or from some corner of the shop that is, at that moment, obscured.

I believe that sales have also shown a decrease in the shops that we supply.

An international crisis cannot be without influence

even on such a small market as ours.

How much larger then will be its effect upon the bigger market?

I am certain that you, sir, will understand the nature of my efforts

for there is no one better than you, so thoroughly acquainted

with this arduous work

to see these problems in the light of informed experience.

On the other hand, I find myself in a position of responsibility

greater than the one to which I was originally assigned

that I am holding a post which demands a higher standard

than my professional qualifications had previously entitled me to.

It is for this reason that I hope you may consider the possibility of my advancement.

Of course, not necessarily at the present time

but entirely at your own convenience, sir.

In fact, only when you consider...

consider it the most...

the most opportune moment.

You know that I am always at your disposal, sir

for any particularly unusual or difficult tasks that might arise

during the future course of business.

And at the present, I can assure you that my desire to comply with your order

to the best of my ability is only exceeded by the hope

that there may be even greater opportunities

to prove myself a worthier and more able servant.

Your esteem is therefore most important to me

and I humbly trust, sir, that you will continue

to exercise your consideration in my favour.

When I return from my journeys, my mother and father and sister

are more than happy to know that I have accomplished...

my task in a satisfactory way

and that consequently my position in your firm is

if I may so venture to hope, continually becoming more secure.

For it is only thus that we may look forward to the prospect of a better future

to some guarantee of security

and finally, to a respite from our domestic problems.

For my father has now had to give up his work

though my sister has still to complete her violin studies

and it is, and always has been, our brightest dream

to see her at the conservatory.

Are you listening, sir?

Are you listening, sir?

Are you listening, sir?

Sir, do you hear me?

Sir, are you... are you listening, sir?

This is one of the regular lines from our factory.

The material is of a type produced by a special process.

If you'd be so good as to examine it in the light

I think you may get an idea of the richness of the tissue.

Last week, one of our customers ordered 40 dozen lengths of this material

for the exportation market.

On the other hand, if you should need a heavier material

this one is particularly suitable for cutting into scarves etc.

Of course, you might prefer something like this

with interwoven silk threads

or if you have a particularly... pattern of your own in mind

it could be made to order in our factory at very short notice

and I am confident that you would be met with full satisfaction

as our firm has a well-established reputation for fast and efficient work.

To give you a final idea of the possibilities open to our branch of manufacture

I'd like to show you this sample of a rare silk weave.

You can see it is a first-class article.

Commissions for this item are already coming in

from many of the highest-class buyers in the capital.

I hope that you, sir, will be able to make your choice

from amongst the materials I have shown you.

Do you like this, sir?

Do you like this, sir?

Do you like this, sir?

If these particular samples do not comply with your wishes

it will be a pleasure for me to return with additional items

from the large variety we have in stock.

For you will appreciate, sir, that what I am displaying for you now

is a general selection of our output

so you can no doubt realise how wide the choice is that is open to you.

I must add that our designs are...
