Text `When do you think you'll have the drawings ready?' inquired Rushton.
`Can you get them done tonight?'
`I'm afraid not,' replied Owen, feeling inclined to laugh at the absurdity of the question. `It will need a little thinking about.'

`When can you have them ready then? This is Monday. Wednesday morning?'

Owen hesitated.

`We don't want to keep 'im waiting too long, you know, or 'e may give up the idear altogether.'

`Well, sat Friday morning, then,' said Owen, resolving that he would stay up all night if necessary to get it done.

Rushton shook his head.

`Can't you get it done before that? I'm afraid that if we keeps 'im waiting all that time we may lose the job altogether.'
