& I.Board ?" "Nothing would give me greater pleasure," Josephine assured him.

"I cannot imagine why you ever put him on." Peter Phipps was a little staggered.
"Perhaps you don't know," he said, "that your husband's salary for doing nothing is four thousand pounds a year." "I suppose you think him worth that," Josephine answered coldly, "or you would not pay it." "He is worth nothing at all," Phipps declared bluntly.

"I put him on the Board and I am paying him four thousand a year for a reason which I am surprised you have never guessed." "How on earth should I ?" Josephine demanded.

"I know nothing whatever about business.

On the face of it, I should think you were mad." "We will leave the reason for Lord Dredlinton's appointment alone for the moment," Phipps continued.
