picked up the receiver, if only to tell the other party that the receptionist would be back later. “Hello,” I said. A friendly voice on the other end spoke, “Hi! Good morning. May I speak with Mr. Seymour, please?” “I’m sorry, sir. The receptionist just stepped away from her desk for a short while. In fact, I'm awaiting her return,” I said. “Please, could you ask her when she returns to give Mr. Seymour a message for me?” he asked. “Why certainly,” I said, nervously trying to help. “Please ask her to tell Mr. Seymour that Godfrey called. I've been talking with the Wittersham account and they are extremely interested. Mr. Wittersham himself is on his way over and will sign all necessary papers.” I agreed to convey his message for which he thanked me and hung up. <strong>When</strong> the receptionist returned, I gave her the message. She then asked me to follow her and we went into an office where a distinguished looking gentleman was sitting at his desk. He rose and introduced himself. “I'm Seymour,” he said. “Please sit.” Mr. Seymour told me that his company would buy our products if one of his largest accounts, the Wittersham Company, agreed to distribute them. He told me a little about Mr. Wittersham and how the Wittersham Company grew from a small beginning to become one of the largest in its industry. Wittersham, it seemed, was from the old school, conservative, had little patience and was a hard man to deal with. The only topic that he was ever interested in was the sea and he would literally spend hours talking about it. Mr. Seymour was pleased that I had come. “Make sure you tell Wittersham about your early days by the ocean,” he 30
said, and all of a sudden the dream ended and I was awake in bed. It was a most vivid dream and thinking about it kept me awake for quite some time. Finally, it was morning and I got up and prepared for my meeting with Mr. Seymour. After breakfast, I took a cab to his office. All the buildings were tall and clustered together in what appeared to be the main commercial area of the city. I paid my fare and walked into the building where Seymour’s office was located. Without much waiting, I was ushered in to see him. The expression on my face was one of pure astonishment when I discovered that the real Mr. Seymour and the Mr. Seymour of my dream were exactly alike in physical features. I had never seen this man before and the coincidence seemed remarkable. We talked for a while about my company’s new product. He would be willing to do some business with us he said, but that would depend on one of his largest distributors. There was a knock at the door and an assistant rushed in and whispered to Mr. Seymour. Seymour smiled, looked at me and said, “I'm told that old James Wittersham just arrived and he's insisting on seeing me immediately.” He turned to the assistant who stood awaiting his reply and asked her to show Mr. Wittersham in. At first glance, Wittersham hardly seemed friendly. He gave a quick nod when I was introduced and started talking immediately. “Look now, Seymour. I don’t have much time. Tell me about this product you want me to handle.” The whole scene appeared to be a replay of my dream from last night. I finally grew brave enough to look Mr. Wittersham straight in the eye and say, “Sir, perhaps I could be of some help. I’m from the company that manufactures the 31
